A Deloitte-style case you can try now

Treat the interviewer as your client and follow Deloitte's five published steps, verbally and in writing.

Step 1. Read the case

Northbeam Health: should claims processing be automated?

The brief (in a real process this may be shared in advance)

Northbeam Health is a regional health insurer. It processes about 120,000 claims a month and the backlog has grown to six weeks. Management is considering a $1.8 million program to automate part of claims processing. You are the consultant. Treat the interviewer as your client: what would you advise?

An original, fictional practice case written by Soreno in a Deloitte-style format. It is not a Deloitte interview question. Everything stays in your browser.

Step 2. Ask clarifying questions

Deloitte's guidance is to start by understanding the issue and asking clarifying questions, preferably broad and open-ended, so you do not assume.

Step 3. Structure your answer

Take two minutes to develop a framework and an initial hypothesis, and share them with the interviewer as you would with a client. Deloitte's guidance encourages sharing your hypothesis early.

What the Deloitte interview looks like

Here is what Deloitte says about its case and scenario interviews on its own careers pages, and what it does not publish. Deloitte's process differs by country and role, so check your invitation.

What Deloitte says

  • Case and scenario interviews are used to assess problem-solving skills, analytical ability, and strategic and logical thinking, along with creativity, comfort with ambiguity and the ability to think quickly and adapt. Deloitte US: Preparing for the case and scenario interview.
  • Deloitte recommends five steps: understand the issue by asking clarifying questions, identify underlying assumptions, summarize specific issues and findings, state recommendations, and outline next steps and expected results or impacts. Deloitte US: Preparing for the case and scenario interview.
  • The US page describes a case interview tool for entry-level consulting positions and a scenario interview tool for entry-level audit and assurance positions, each with a preparation tool. Deloitte US: Preparing for the case and scenario interview.
  • In most cases you complete a case based on a real or theoretical business scenario and resolve it verbally, in writing, or both. Deloitte sometimes shares the details in advance, and sometimes asks you to work it through during the interview. Deloitte Australia: Preparing for a case study interview.
  • Verbal case interviews are meant to be conversational: interact with your interviewer as you would with a client. Deloitte says it is not so much the answer as the process you use to get there, and encourages broad, open-ended clarifying questions. Deloitte New Zealand: Case study preparation.
  • In Australia, Deloitte describes a first interview with a potential manager about your experience, a second interview that may include a case study and a final interview with a senior leader or partner. Deloitte Australia: Our recruitment process.

What Deloitte does not publish

  • how long a case interview is, or how many rounds there are.
  • scoring criteria, pass marks or a rubric.
  • a single global format. Steps, formats and tools differ by country and by role, so the pages above reflect Deloitte US, Australia and New Zealand.

How Soreno's AI interviewer maps to Deloitte practice

These are features that exist in the Soreno app today. They practice the skills Deloitte's guidance describes. They do not reproduce Deloitte's questions or scoring.

  • 1

    No Deloitte-specific interviewer style

    Soreno has McKinsey, BCG, Bain, strict and coach interviewer styles but no Deloitte style. For Deloitte-style practice use the default interviewer for a balanced conversation, or the coach style for hints while you learn the five steps.

  • 2

    Either interview style

    Deloitte describes a conversation with your interviewer as a client. Soreno lets you choose interviewer-led or interviewee-led. Try interviewee-led to practice proposing each step yourself.

  • 3

    Talk through all five steps

    Answer out loud and the AI interviewer asks follow-ups on your assumptions, your math and your recommendation, then scores the session with quotes from your answer and a next-step plan.

  • 4

    Math and exhibits

    The interviewer shows exhibits and checks your calculations. Timed drills cover case math, market sizing and structuring.

You set the interviewer personality and the interview style in Settings, under Interview preferences. Soreno is voice-based. Deloitte says a case can also be answered in writing, so practice writing a short summary yourself, as in the sample case above. Soreno does not simulate Deloitte's own case or scenario interview tools, which Deloitte offers for free.
