Hi All,
I applied for BCG Australia 15 days ago and haven't heard back excepted an automated email reply after application.
I applied one day before the deadline for 2019 round. I'm wondering how long it takes for CV screening round because I heard normally it takes two weeks. I'm wondering if I should follow up with HR.
You can certainly follow-up with HR, but don't get too worried quite yet. BCG Dallas took a full month to get back to me when I applied years ago (as an experience hired, granted).
Having said that - don't stop applying to other companies just because "you really hope BCG will work out". Ah, and make sure you are ready & can crack cases because when the interviews arrive, you may not have but a few days ahead of you.
Good luck, let us know what happens.
Hey there!
I wouldn't worry about following up with HR - since you applied as part of 2019 recruiting, you will probably hear back at the same time as all other candidates (whether you get invited to interview or not). Therefore, following up with HR is unlikely to do anything in accelerating the process (and might just frustrate the recruiting manager as he/she will definitely get hundreds of emails from candidates.
Plus, two weeks is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to hear back - consider they have to review + score hundreds (if not thousands) of CVs, arrange interview times, etc.
Don't worry, use the extra time to prep, and as Guennal said, keep applying to other firms!
Best of luck,
Alessandro
