HOW TO APPLY
SUCCESSFULLY
LET’S START DOING.
WELCOME
TO NEWTON
We are a UK-based specialist in operational improvement,
Newton was started in 2001 by three friends - Tom, Kevin,
and Andy. They believed consulting ought to be done
differently. It shouldn’t be about just delivering reports,
it ought to be about implementing solutions that achieve
measurable results.
Since then, Newton has brought a distinct way of
working to the industry. Fuelled by the belief that
even the best organisations can be better, we work
side-by-side with our clients, understanding the
problem, analysing the data and providing impactful
solutions where they are needed the most.
Our work takes on some of the largest and most
complicated challenges in the public, consumer,
and Defence & Infrastructure sectors, delivering
and implementing the changes that will create
the greatest impact. We believe so strongly in
what we do, that we guarantee our fees against
delivering results.
WE ARE GUIDED
BY OUR VALUES
– Fun, friendship, and high performance.

WHAT IS
CONSULTING?
A consultancy is an external company brought in by a client in an
advisory capacity, with the aim of implementing a change that the
client couldn’t do alone.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES OF CONSULTING,
INCLUDING:
Strategy Consulting
Operations Consulting
HR Consulting
Financial Advisory
IT Consulting
At Newton, we are predominantly focussed on
Operations Consulting and offer Operational
Improvement to clients across categories and
industries.
OPERATIONS CONSULTING
INCLUDES:
Organisational Operations
Sales & Marketing
Supply Chain
Sourcing & Procurement
Finance
Business Process Management
Research & Development
Outsourcing
Our Digital Consultants drive value to our clients in
much the same way that operational consultants
to - but are specialised in areas where our clients’
biggest problems require a level of expertise in
data and technology. We anchor our digital offering
around 6 core capabilities:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Value from systems and technology
The right data, trusted
Compelling Digital Experiences
Insight-Driven Decision Making
Harnessing the power of advanced data science
Digital Culture and Ecosystem
To set your mind at ease, there is no expectation of
coding experience required before joining the digital
team. Several of our digital consultants didn’t have
any before they became a part of the team.
We believe a passion and likely aptitude for this
type of work is far more important. Coding is a
valuable tool and central to a lot of the work we do,
but certainly not the full scope of digital - there are
digital consultants who spend relatively little time
writing code, and have more of a focus on product
management, systems integration, product design,
or any other activity required to deliver a great
digital product.
VIDEO INTERVIEW
The next stage of the application process is a video interview.
Communication is a key part of being a consultant at Newton
as we build relationships with clients and our teams and need
to adapt our communication style to communicate effectively
at all levels of a business.
This is the first chance we get to see you, so we encourage you
to be yourself and really let your personality shine through.
Below highlights the structure of the interview.
1. COMPETENCY
QUESTIONS
You will be asked seven questions and the video
interview shouldn’t take any longer than 25 minutes
to complete. The first section consists of five
competency-based questions. Candidates don’t
need to over-prepare but you should think about
your key achievements to date and key qualities/
skills and do some research into who Newton are
and what they do.
TOP TIPS:
2. TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS
You will be presented with a scenario and then
asked to do some calculations and present a
response back (two minutes for calculations, one
minute to respond). The key thing Newton want to
see here is how you can clearly, concisely and simply
talk through your thought process. The advice we
give is: ‘Imagine you are onsite and are explaining
what you are doing to a colleague or manager'.
TECHNICAL TIPS:
ou have a week to complete the VI
Y
(but can self-extend, like the online
test), so take time to prepare
Treat this like a real interview
ring a calculator and some
B
rough paper
Test out the lighting before hand –
you don’t want to be whited out or
sat in darkness
e yourself and showcase your
B
personality
Interviews are marked by
real people!
– so wear something smart
Make sure you clear your background
Let anyone you live with know you’ll
be doing an interview so keep the
background noise down
Make the most of the mic and video
test in the VI platform
