Referral for ongoing Bain application

Hi there,

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

• First of all, it is unfortunately impossible to get a referral for an ongoing application. Referrals are used to pass the screening phase of the application process, which you clearly already have.
• Moreover, even if not relevant for you anymore, it does indeed matter if the referral is coming from someone in another office, as it will be perceived weaker. For referrals from another country, it is often not even possible to do so technically.

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 Bain interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi,

If your application is already processed then there is no point in getting a referral. Past the screening stage, you will be solely judged based on the performance in the assessments, whether digital or live case interviews.

The referrals work to get your application screened and are meant to identify candidates with whom the firm can start the interview process with.

All the best!

Hi there,

Not at this point, unfortunately. Before the test, it would have made more sense.

Fingers crossed!

Cheers,
