Kearney London Recruitment

Hi there,

4 months is a long period of time. I believe your application is still valid based on HR response, but definitely go for other companies until they return with additional information.  Either you’ll have more experience with interviews before they get back to you, or you’ll have different opportunities in case Kearney doesn’t work, nothing to lose here.

Good luck!

Best,

Mari

Hi there,

They are likely not sure how hiring demand will develop, hence keep people in the loop. Overall, not a good sign.

I'd definitely broaden the scope of applications to MBB, other T2 firms, etc.\

All the best,

Florian

Even if Kearney ends up inviting you to the interviews or not, apply to other firms.

Even with the interview, you still need to pass the process and secure the offer—so the more you diversify, the better.

Also, try to apply through referrals, as they help accelerate the recruiting process.

I would even recommend trying to get a referral from someone at Kearney to gain insider information on why your application might be delayed (e.g., hiring freeze, high pipeline, etc.).

Best,

Alberto

"Should I still be hopeful, or should I keep applying elsewhere?"

Yes, you should be hopeful.

And yes, you should keep applying elsewhere. Being hopeful does not prevent you from planning for the negative scenarios, right?

Hi there,

Q: Should I still be hopeful, or should I keep applying elsewhere? 

It doesn’t look very promising, considering 4 months have already passed. It doesn’t mean they will reject you, but I would recommend expanding the list of target firms, if not done already.

Good luck!

Hi there, 

would not put all of my eggs into that basket. I would reach out to other firms as well. 

Best,
