People In KEARNEY

Friends with experience interviewing at Kearney (US): after the first round of interviews (behavioral and case), when should one expect to hear back about the result?

Hey,

At least for the post-MBA role, the average wait time in the US for Kearney from my friends was 1-2 weeks (with the median probably closer to one week), so I expect something similar for the junior roles.

However, keep in mind that the last few weeks have been weird; firms might still be trying to assess the impact of the new geopolitical happenings on staffing needs.

In any case, I would write back after 15-20 days if you have not heard anything :)

Best,

Tom

Usually quite fast.

At Kearney, after first round, you can typically expect feedback within a few days up to ~1 week. In some cases it can stretch a bit longer if there are internal delays or scheduling constraints, but it’s generally quicker than many candidates expect.

If it’s been more than 2-3 weeks, it’s perfectly fine to send a short follow-up to HR.

Also, don’t read too much into timing — faster or slower doesn’t necessarily mean positive or negative.
