Bain referral follow-up

Bain & Company Experts MBB

Hi,

I applied to Bain 5 weeks ago through a referral via one of the Principles in the local office. I followed back with him a 2 weeks later and he replied that the recruiters are reviewing and will get back to me. I haven't heard anything from the recruiting team in last 3 weeks. Is it normal for the screening team to take this much time? Considering that the referral is from a senior person should I contact the recruiters directly or again follow-up with the Principle? Just want to maximize my chances for an interview call (got a rejection from one of the MBB a few days back)

Thanks

Hi

I can understand your frustration. This is the time for university recruiting and naturally, they (recruiters) are busy. Most probably they are benchmarking your resume with others and you may receive a decision soon.

Afaik, you're aren't increasing your chances by engaging the recruiters or the principal.

Agree with Anonymous B. It doesn't bode very well, but all hope is not lost. When I applied as an experienced hire + recommendation from a senior principal (who had seen me work with his team for 4 months, all day, every day), it still took recruiting a solid month to get back to me - and I wouldn't interview before another month!

Non-campus recruiting is not the standard, so typica timingl rules do not necessarily apply. You probably won't improve your chances by asking Recruiting for a status update, but it also won't hurt. If it allows you to reduce your stress level, by all means ping them (respectfully).

Hope this helps,

It might take that long, but after so long time, I would reach out again to ask for a status update.

Hi,

I do not recommend contacting them directly. I also do not recommend being too annoying.

I know the cases when it took 1.5 of months to respond even via the referral. Also, the Principal could easily forget to make a referral and in reality did that only after your follow up.

Give them some time, and if they don't get back to you in a couple of weeks send a follow up for the second time.

Bain Case: Asiatische Schmierstoffe

Bain Case: Asiatische Schmierstoffe Der in seiner Heimatregion äußerst erfolgreiche asiatische Premiumhersteller von Schmierstoffen, LubricantsCo, möchte seinen Umsatz und Gewinn weiter steigern. Die Produktpalette erstreckt sich von Schmierstoffen im automobilen Umfeld (z. B. Motor- und Getriebeöl) bis zu Industrieanwendungen (z. B. Fette, Hochleistungsöle). Da nach ersten Untersuchungen weitere Wachstumspotenziale im asiatischen Kernmarkt eher limitiert sind, will LubricantsCo Optionen zur Internationalisierung im Pkw-Geschäft untersuchen – auch außerhalb des aktuell vorrangig bedienten Premiumsegments. Ihre Beratung wurde daher beauftragt, eine Markteintrittsstrategie für den europäischen Markt auszuarbeiten.

Bain Case: Altes Weingut

69,0 Tsd. mal gelöst
Bain Case: Altes Weingut Sie erben von Ihrem Großvater ein Weingut, die Old Winery, welche sich seit fünf Generationen in Familienbesitz befindet und bis ins 16. Jahrhundert datiert werden kann. Auf den elf Hektar der Old Winery werden konventionell, d.h. nicht biologisch betrieben und zertifiziert, je zur Hälfte weiße und rote Trauben angebaut, wobei der Rebbestand bezüglich Alter und Pflege in gutem Zustand ist. Insgesamt werden nur ¼ der Ernte selbst zu Wein gekeltert; der Rest wird weiterverkauft. Ihr Großvater, der selbst am Image des Weinguts nichts verändern wollte, überließ die Bewirtschaftung und Verwaltung einem jungen dynamischen Winzer. Auf Grund des wenig bekannten Images des Weinguts ist die aktuelle Nachfrage nach dem eigenproduzierten Wein nicht besonders hoch. Da Sie sich mit Weinanbau wenig auskennen, wollen Sie das Weingut nicht operativ leiten, aber finden die Idee spannend, ein Weingut zu besitzen. Ihr Plan ist es jedoch, dem Weingut einen frischen Wind einzuhauchen.
