BCG SEA - What happens after background check

Hi all,

I just finished my background check with Hireright yesterday. How long will it take to get the final confirmation from BCG? What does the post check process usually look like?

Thank you!

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the (presumed) offer from BCG!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, unfortunately, no one can give a precise indication of how long the rest of the process will take. Typically, however, you should expect the next steps within a few weeks.
  • Moreover, again, unfortunately, no one knows the internal BCG processes. As a candidate, though, the recruiter or HR representative will work with you to determine the start date of your consulting career start.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

Congratulations on the offer! Regarding your questions:

1) How long will it take to get the final confirmation from BCG? 

Most likely, maximum a few weeks.

2) What does the post check process usually look like?

If not done already, they will inform you about the official starting date when you can join.

All the best for a great start!
