swer, it39。 s useful if you are clear about how the results of the analysis would help to answer the original question posed. Question 3 Twentyfive percent of the annual recruiting budget is spent on candidates (., attracting, assessing, and getting them to accept). Twenty percent of hires are categorized as most expensive and have an average costperhire of $2,000. Q3: What is the average costperhire of all other candidates? Remember that the client hires 500 students per year and its annual recruiting budget is $2 million (information that we hope you noted earlier). A: The answer is $750 per hire (or less than half the costperhire of the most expensive candidates). Amount spent on the less expensive candidates: 25% of $2 million budget = $500,000 spent on candidates 20% of 500 student = 100 students categorized as most expensive 100 x $2,000 costperhire = $200,000 spent on most expensive hires $500,000 recruiting budget $200,000 = $300,000 remaining for all other hires The number of less expensive candidates: 500 hires 100 = 400 other hires Costperhire of the less expensive candidates: $300,000/400 =$750 per hire Helpful Tip While you may find that doing a straightforward math problem in the context of an interview is a bit tougher, you can see that it is just a matter of breaking the problem down. We are looking for both your ability to set the analysis up properly and then to do the math in real time. Question4 Q: In order to decide whether to reduce costs at the least efficient schools (., those with an average cost per hire of $2,000), what else would you want to know? A: Some of the possible answers are given below. Basic questions:  What are the ponents of costs at these schools (why is it so expensive to recruit there)?  What opportunities exist to reduce costs?  How much cost savings would result from implementing each of the opportunities?  What consequences would implementing each of these opportunities have on recruiting at the least efficient schools? Questions demonstrating further insight:  Why is the cost lower at more efficient schools, and are there best practices in resource management that can be applied to the least efficient schools?  If we reduce costs at the least efficient schools, what will we do with the cost savings (., what would be the benefit of spending the money elsewhere vs. where it is currently being spent)? Helpful Tip We would not expect anyone to e up with all of these answers, but we hope some of your answers head in the same direction as ours. Yours may bring some additional insights. In either case, be sure that you can clearly explain how your question will bring you closer to the right decision. Question 5 The McKinsey team conducts some analysis that indic。
