There are many management consulting firms out there, from solo-run consultancies to the biggest agencies in the business. Before your interview, do your research on the size of Guidehouse, who their clients are, and who their direct competitors are. Who do they compete against for business? Show the interviewer that you have researched Guidehouse and that you have a full understanding of why they are better than the rest! Which offering, in your opinion, makes them stand out?

"I understand the most significant competitors of Guidehouse to be A, B, and C. When I researched your firm these were the companies that continually came up as direct competitors. I combed through their websites and was happy to find that the messaging from Guidehouse was the most consistent. Your firm appears to have the most vision and direction, and a more robust client list, over a wider range of client industries."

"After researching Guidehouse I saw that your primary competitors are A and B. These two firms look like they do a good job; however, the consultants seem to rotate often. Most of their consulting teams were new and without longevity. I appreciate that Guidehouse has teams who are well tenured. This consistency tells me that you are better able to build client relationships and that your consultants are satisfied with the opportunities and growth here."

While there are many smaller competing consulting firms in the US, based on the large size of Guidehouse as a company, I would consider Credera or EOH Holdings more on par from a competitive stance.

You've started well by naming competing consultancy firms. Now, take it a step further to talk about why Guidehouse is a cut above those competitors. What do they do better? Why are they a better company to work for?
