I just got to know about the APD jobs of Mckinsey and since I am a medical professional I wanted to know if I want to apply for the APD jobs, are there any separate vacancies for those? And also is the recrutiment process different from the other roles? According to the details on their site I will be eleigible for a junior associate role as I have completed Masters in health management and also have work experience of 5 years. But I am unsure if the jobs posted on the site are the ones I can apply for as an APD candidate. Also is there a way to get approached by Mckinsey to get a job there?

Swati,
The absolute first thing that I would do is to look for the contact of the recruiter from your target office and to ask them exactly these questions.
This way you get the answer straight from the source, specifically tailored for the office you have in mind.
Based on the description you provided, yes, you should be eligible. But you still need to figure out what is the process specifically for your case.
Sharing here also a brief guide on how to approach the application process and how to pull in the recruiter to get clarity early on:

Hey!
It's a great idea to use this opportunity!
Yes, the APD has separate vacancies. I would suggest getting in touch via the APD form they offer online (not an application but a “get-in-touch”). You will get an overview of the APD event calendar and the practice there, etc...
Also, McKinsey has a global dedicated APD recruitment team which you can contact in case of any specific questions (even email address given online).
Hope this helps :)

Hi Swati,
- Yes, the APD works
- You should make the effort and network/reach out to consultants via your network or via LinkedIn, ideally with a similar background. They are usually happy to connect and provide some direct guidance and potentially even a referral
- The hiring process is the same
All the best,
Florian

Hi Swati,
I would be happy to share my thoughts on your questions:
- First of all, yes, the APD track at McKinsey has specific vacancies.
- Moreover, the recruiting process for APD candidates at McKinsey typically is the same as for generalist candidates, depending on the specific role.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming McKinsey interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen
