What are the numbers of candidates for Mckinsey London's 3 interview stages?

Question

Just wondering what are the general figures for each stage.

Answer 1

Hi there,

These varies for each recruiting cycle and type of recruiting. The only people who know current numbers would still be active consultants and HR, who are not allowed to share them.

Cheers,

Florian

Answer 2

Hey!

I would estimate the following numbers, however, those are only MY personal estimates (no official / internal corporate numbers)!

Initial Application: ~ Thousands of applications are received, especially during peak recruiting seasons.
First-Round Interview: Around ~10-15% of applicants are invited to this stage, where they face the Solve assessment and a case interview.
Final-Round Interview: Approximately 50% of candidates from the first round progress to the final round, which includes multiple case and personal experience interviews.

Ultimately, only a small fraction—about 1-2% of total applicants—receive offers, reflecting the highly competitive nature of McKinsey’s hiring process.

Best, Alessa
