UK London Entry Level Role - Hearing back from applications

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, some coachees of mine have already heard back. However, it's quite normal for response times to vary, thus please do not read anything into it.
• Moreover, while you're waiting to hear back, I would advise you to continue preparing, whether for these two consulting firms or any potential others.
• Lastly, if you have connections within these firms or reach out to the recruiter directly, it could provide you with more insight into your application status.

You can find more on this topic, in case you will not hear back positively, here: How to deal with a rejection from a consulting company.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

If you haven't heard back from OC&C or Oliver Wyman yet, I would recommend being patient and allowing sufficient time for the firms to review your application. It's also a good idea to regularly check your email and any communication channels you provided in your application for any updates or requests for further information.

Hi!

I know of one candidate of mine who applied this cycle and already heard back. 

But that doesn't reflect necessarily on your situation. 

If you've been waiting already for a month or so (unless you've been given an upfront deadline for the response from the recruitment team) just follow-up politely with them.

Good luck!
Cristian

Hi there,

The world is a big place - probably important to say for what country/region :)

That said, in general, if you are recruiting outside a channel (like a university) applications are generally rolling and you can hear back anywhere from a few days to a few months.

If you are recruiting within a channel and there is a set application deadline, you can normally expect to hear back in a few days…max a couple of weeks after the deadline?

Hi there,

Not sure if you can extrapolate from what's happening with other individuals. Do regular follow ups with recruiting and work on a broader application strategy with other consulting firms to diversify risks.

Best,

Alberto
