Additionally, insiders really want you to know that “boutique” and “local” are not euphemisms for “lower quality”; this is a firm that very much prides itself on the pedigree of its consultants and the quality of the work they provide for clients.
With lower overall compensation than some of its larger competitors (although not necessarily on a per-hour basis), there is a sense that Jabian is perhaps reaching something of an inflection point.

- “Our firm's vision is very well-formulated and positive, and we have structured everything we do to live out that mission daily. The vision is centered around truly maximizing value and satisfaction for our clients, our employees, and our community. It is not the ‘typical’ consulting firm--we truly look for that triple-net win in everything we do.

Getting Hired Here
- “Ideal candidates have strong experience of diverse backgrounds aligned with our company culture.”
- “Interview process is efficient. Ideal candidate is an experienced management consultant with a passion for community involvement and motivated to forge their own path.” “My perspective is the talent acquisition team has strong engagement with candidates and process is managed throughout with communication to candidates as well as all internal stakeholders.”
- “Our process is strong and we are getting great talent in the door. We are seeking people who actively do great work for clients and community. We also look for them to enhance our culture. Every hire changes our culture and we want it to be for the better.”
- “Talent Acquisition does 2 initial call screenings, often punctuated by an informal call with a current consultant who can speak with you about Jabian's consulting practices, culture, etc. The team is quite responsive and will generally call within a few business days to set up the next call. Once you've passed these screenings, there is a panel interview, after which Talent Acquisition will do another follow-up to schedule the partner interview--again, they get back to people a few business days after both the panel and partner interviews, and if the candidate passes the partners, that's the point where an offer is made and negotiation begins. The whole process takes a few weeks, typically.”
