No response from Mckinsey

Question

Hello,

I applied via Mckinsey website for the Mckinsey Digital Associate role more than a month ago and I have done the solve assessment (1 month ago). My profile still shows in progress. The only email I received was to update my legal information which is generic (i think everyone receives same email). Do you advice that I reach out? What should be my next line of action

Answer 1

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from McKinsey!

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

Yes, if a full month has passed, I would highly advise you to check on the status of your application. As long as you haven't received a rejection, please remember that you have not been rejected.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

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

Answer 2

Hey there,

Given that it's been a month or so since your SOLVE assessment, it won't hurt to reach out to the recruiting team to ask about the status of your application. In both the best and worst case scenario, you'll be able to gain clarity on what the next steps for you are.

It is true that it is not unusual for there to be gaps of a month or more in between stages and communication in the recruiting journey.

Answer 3

McKinsey's recruitment process can take time, but since it’s been over a month, it’s reasonable to follow up. Send an email to recruiting team inquiring about your application status.

Best of luck

Answer 4

Hi there,

At the moment, I see significant delays across the board in the region, not just at McKinsey. Still, after this much time I would definitely reach out to HR to clarify the status of the application as well as the expected timeline for your own planning.

Best if you can call them directly.

All the best,

Florian

Answer 5

Be sure to reach out to the recruiting team to request an update on your project. If they don’t respond, it’s reasonable to follow up once a week.

Best,

Alberto

Hello,

I was in same position like you, but I received my acceptance for Solve game after 2.5 months which is pretty long period.
