Hey,
Would love to hear some thoughts, especially from Bainies.
I applied for an ACI position at Bain, and received a referral from a Bainie (I know since I got an email from him asking me to give him some data).
What seemed weird, is that I was asked to apply first, and my contact only submitted the referral form, after I had already applied.
Since for other consultancies, the referral process in my experience was exactly the opposite - first referral, then application/invitation to apply - I was wondering if my contact did the process correctly.
If not, how would I best go about raising this with HR, so that the referral gets considered in the screening process?
