Hello,
I applied recently to BCG ME as an experienced hire through referral. they sent me a dedicated link after someone referred me and I applied using that link. it has been almost 3 weeks now and I haven’t heard anything back. does anyone know the timeline and what should I do please? thank you!
Hi there,
Nice work on the networking!
As it has been 3 weeks I recommend you reach out to the person who referred you. See if they can check-in to see what has happened.
Don't worry, it's certainly not long enough to panic! (Just to check-in)
I would suggest you get in touch with them to see where they stand in processing your application. Good luck!
Hi there,
3 weeks is indeed on the long side. My suggestion would be to reach out to them at this point.
It's a rather tough period now for recruiting. I suggest you read the guide I wrote below on how to develop an application strategy under the current market conditions:
Maximizing your chances of getting a consulting job during an economic downturn

Hello,
I would politely reach out to recruiting/HR to ask about the status of your application. 3 weeks isn't super uncommon, but it just puts you in the window of time where it's ok to reach out to them and ask.
Hi there,
Q: It has been almost 3 weeks now and I haven’t heard anything back. Does anyone know the timeline and what should I do please?
The timeline is difficult to predict as it depends on internal needs and amount of applications they received. However after 3 weeks you can definitely follow up.
I would recommend calling rather than sending an email to "check if they have received all the application material", this should work well to get an update.
Best,
Francesco
