Applying to strategy consulting

Hi,

The application window is typically from August till October; so best is to apply end August.

You can always reach out to the specific office to get the exact dates.

As Mattijs mentioned the big hiring window is late summer, and also a fair number of candidates are brought in at the start of the year.

It’s worth reaching out directly to the recruiting team to confirm the dates.

Hi there, 

It depends on the role that you apply and on the specific office. 

Why? 

Because for certain roles, especially more junior roles, recruiting is done in cohorts and then there are specific timelines only when you can apply. 

If you're more senior / or an experienced hire, then you have more flexibility as when you can apply. 

Always check with the recruiter what the upcoming deadlines are for your target role. It's really worth the effort of having that conversation.

By and large, it's always best when fewer people apply. So if you don't have to apply as part of the cohort recruitment, then apply in the 'off-season'. And when you have to apply in the cohort periods, apply rather in the early part of the timeline, rather than towards the deadline.
