Hi everyone,

How long does it typically take for Bain to get back to you once the online test is completed?

Thank you

Hi there. During off peak season you should get results in around 3 days. However, during summer peak recruiting season it could get to as long as 7 days. 

If you haven't heard back after a week, email your recruiter politely to ask for an update :)

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

According to my information, both as an active recruiter with Bain as well as from coachees who went through the process, you should expect to be contacted within just a couple of days after taking the test to schedule your (first round) interviews.

In case you might feel in a hurry, I'd propose to contact the colleagues from recruiting upfront or after about a week after taking the test to ask about scheduling your (first round) interviews.

Best,

Hagen

It normally varies between a few days and a few weeks. I would reach out to HR if its been longer than 2-3 weeks.

2-7 days. Recently had few coachees go through with it.

However, don't be alarmed if it takes more than 2 weeks as well.

No result - is No result.

Whatever the result may be - they will always tell you.

I agree with Agrim that the duration until you will receive feedback has nothing to do with your results. However, as I pointed out below, if you're in a hurry, I'd propose to contact the colleagues from recruiting upfront or after about a week after taking the test to ask about scheduling your (first round) interviews.
Best,

Hi there,

A few days to a couple of weeks. Feel free to reach out after a week or two if you have not heard back.

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi!

I would say 1-2 weeks. If no update, send an email to HR.

Good luck,
