McKinsey Call

What if the Engagement Manager told me that he will send an email to HR first about me? Is this still considered a Referral?

Hi there,

Assuming he will attach your CV and details - yes. I got referred at McKinsey exactly in the same way. I did not have to apply online – the consultant simply forwarded my CV to HR.

Best,

Francesco

Hey there,

Yes,

  • they will take a closer look at your application
  • potentially fast-track your application

Fingers crossed!

Cheers,
