Resume Screening at Bain

Question

Hi, at most consulting firms, the CV screening is done by the consulting staff and not the human resource department. I was wondering which level employees (Associate, Team Leader, Manager, Pricinpal, Partner) do the initial screening at Bain.

Answer 1

Typically, in depth screening is completed by the ACs / Consultants at the office that you are looking to apply to once you have made it past the initial filters. HR will assist in the process but it is primarily done by alumni of your school at the office that you are looking to apply to if you are from a school that has alumni there. If not, there is a separate group that will evaluate your application.

Answer 2

I have not worked at Bain or interviewed there so this more of a general answer. I have worked at McKinsey and Deloitte. Did a ton of recruiting at Deloitte. This is how it used to be done

Who does resume screening depends on level.

For Analyst level, an Analyst volunteer team used to do it and help HR
For Associate level, then Assoicates volunteer used to do it
For Experienced hires, HR does screening with guidance from consultants who volunteer their time to help. usually at the level or above what the applicant applies

I recently completed a CV and CV course. I realized that I made fatal errors when writing these forms. You must understand exactly why you need it and indicate all your motivations. I am grateful to this resource https://craftresumes.com/resume-review/ that provided me with a ready template. Now I work in the field of education
