I completed Imbellus about 5 weeks ago and have yet to hear back. At this point, should I just let it go or email HR? Over a month seems like a really long time for McKinsey, but my Dashboard still says “in progress.”

Background: I was referred by a senior partner, but I'm unsure as to whether this detail will have an impact on my application.

Hi there,

Q: I completed Imbellus about 5 weeks ago and have yet to hear back. At this point, should I just let it go or email HR?

I don’t think there is a clear correlation between time and outcome for the Imbellus. It is more related to how they are managing the pipeline. 

They usually reply within a few weeks but it can take longer. I helped a candidate once who got a response after 2 months and he passed.

As Ian said, it is totally fine to follow up with HR after 5 weeks.

Good luck!

Francesco

Hey there,

If it is still in progress, this does not mean anything negative or positive. However, after 5 weeks I would definitely call (!) HR to ask about the status of your application.

Senior partner referrals are usually very impactful btw!

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

You may as well email HR (and the Partner). There's no downside here to checking in.

Good luck!

Hello!

Yes, 100%, and even before. 

Kindly follow up with them. 

If this is in the ME, there seems to be a bottleneck, so hopefully it´s just that and not bad news. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there, 

That's rather unusually long.

Do reach out to HR / recruitment and ask for an update on the status of your application. It's fair to do that if you've been waiting for 5 weeks. 

Best,
Cristian
