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,

Fingers crossed!
