Hi everyone,
In October 2024, I applied to McKinsey. They sent me the link to complete the test, but due to personal reasons, I was unable to take the test within the stipulated time frame. My question is: Could this compromise my candidacy today?
Thank you all :)
Hi there,
Missing the test last year shouldn’t automatically block you (there are no records of your results), but it’s best to check directly with HR/recruiting for clarity. If you’re still interested, just reapply as firms understand that timing and personal circumstances happen.
Hey Martina,
The ban typically relates to candidates that have not been successful in the solve score or from the interview rounds. Additionally, even if you were to have applied Oct 2024, it's over a year since then, so I recommend you re-apply.
This shouldn't compromise your candidacy today. That said, please do reach out to recruiting if you have any questions relating to your re-application in this cycle for them to clarify anything. But otherwise, go for it! :-)
Wishing you all the best with this recruiting round with McKinsey!
Hi there,
If you didn't take the test, you are not banned. Plus, it has been a year already anyway, so you should be able to apply as per normal.
Best,
Emily
Potentially.
Do reach out to them ASAP and explain the situation, apologise and ask for another opportunity to take the test.
I would expect them to understand it and make an adjustment to your application.
Best,
Cristian
Hi,
I don't think it would, but as others have mentioned - best to check with HR :)
All the best!
