How to get into the Boston Consulting Group: BCG Recruiting Head explains ⚡ Jack reacts 😉

How to get into BCG? BCG is part of the top consulting firms’ MBB triumvirate (McKinsey, BCG and Bain) and as such a very popular employer. A few days ago, I noticed a post on the official Boston Consulting Group’s (BCG) LinkedIn-Account: BCG announced that recently, BCG’s Global Head of Talent and recruiting, Amber Grewal, gave an interview to Business Insider on how to get into BCG… This got me interested, and so I decided to dig deeper for you…
The interview article is behind a paywall, but no worries, I have you covered. In this video, I reveal and interpret the BCG’s top recruiter’s recommendations on how to get into the Boston Consulting Group, and will cover:
1. Contentious (!) BCG and McKinsey applications received and hiring figures
2. Your behavior as an applicant
3. What matters in your business case interviews (and what does not)
4. Why the Q&A part of a consulting job interview is important
5. How you need to prepare for it
6. How BCG screens your application documents.
As usual, make sure to watch the video until the end to enjoy the consulting humor bits… This video is about BCG, and somebody is truly not happy if I mention another consulting firm such as… McKinsey!? 😉 Enjoy! 🙂

    @YOUinConsulting Hi Jack, thanks for the great video! Does it matter who puts your application in the system? Does having partner refer you increase your chances of success?

    Hi J: No, in my view referrals are highly overrated. They may help you to get screened if your CV had not been "good enough" start the recruiting process by yourself. However, once you're in the game, you have to go through the same steps as everybody else, without any advantage. I actually know a case where the founder of Roland Berger, Roland Berger himself, had made a referral, but the referred candidate did not make it through the interviews.

Alternatively, you need to call reception desk of your office to identiy the recruiter responsible for you, these contacts you find here: www.bcg.com/offices/default Hope this helps 👍🏼

    Hi there! A bit difficult to give complex coaching advice through a KZread comment! "How to apply for it" - you need to check the BCG website and select which office you want to submit your application to. Usually, you then need to upload your application documents to a database.
