Experienced Hire. Applied to Bain without a referral for a General Consultant position in early October. Haven't heard back from them at the moment. I applied for an Expert Consultant position as well but was rejected for it within a week. Currently interviewing at another MBB so I believe that should have made it pass the sniff test at Bain to interview. Is there a chance they still reach out to me to interview? From a culture perspective, Bain seems like a great fit from those I've chatted with. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Schedule mock interviews on the Meeting Board, join the latest community discussions in our Consulting Q&A and find like-minded Case Partners to connect and practice with!

Nobody has responded to this question yet.
Do you have a contact in the recruiting team? Did you network with any consultants in your target office? I’d encourage you to check in and express continued interest.
Applying without those connections (or a referral) makes it more likely you’ll fall through the cracks, but your traction at other firms is a great sign.
Hope you hear good news soon!
I would recommend reaching out to your connects for a referral instead of waiting for Bain to come back. In fact even if you don’t have a tangible connection, I would encourage you to use LinkedIn and reach out to Partners from your relevant field expressing your interest and explaining your fit. This is exactly how I landed my Bain interview! :)
