Can anyone in the company (MBB), excluding HR, refer you, or does it need to be a consultant/principal/partner? Meaning people in internal departments, operations, etc. if they have high ranking positions.
Hi,
Does not agree with Guennael:

Anyone, yes - even alumni. Just remember they don't all have the same weight.
All else equal, the following have highest value:
1. More senior person, obviously. Holy Grail here is getting a Partner referral
2. Some who's worked WITH you
3. Someone who has a solid reputation inside the firm
I just confirmed, an alumni can indeed make a referral, even at McK - at least if he/she used to be in recruiting.
Can confirm for Bain as well, any current employee can make a referral, but of course it will carry more weight based on seniority and reputation, and to some extent just how well they know the recruiters.
An alumnus can definitely make a referral via email but I am not sure whether they would be able to make a referral through the Bain internal system.
