BCG London Experienced Hire Recruitment Process

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation by BCG!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• I am pretty certain you'll take need to complete the BCG Casey assessment, although this typically happens before the first interview round. Moreover, I doubt you’d need to complete a standalone quantitative assessment as well.
• Still, I would highly advise you to check with the recruiter to confirm the exact process for your specific recruitment.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your upcoming pre-interview assessments and interviews at BCG as an experienced hire, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

It's almost gaurenteed you'll get Casey (not in round 1 but as part of screening). It is less likely that you will have a seperate quant assessment.

However, you should check with the recruiters - networking is critical here. 

Be ready for both! (The prep is very very similar)

Hi there,

it is legitimate for you to inquire about the recruiting process if you are interested in applying. It sounds like you have not yet submitted your application so it’s a great opportunity to reach out to the HR contact about process questions.

Depending on region and office there is a variance in how they run things. 

Good luck

Hi there,

Nothing seems set in stone at this point and it's hard from the outside to make out a discernible pattern, based on my observations with recent candidates.

However, this provides a good opportunity to get in touch with recruiters and present yourself as a diligent candidate, who wants to prepare best possible.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Hi there, 

These processes change quite often and often vary depending on the office and the role. 

My strong recommendation would be to connect with the recruiter / HR, ideally over a short, polite call, and ask them to give you an overview of the steps ahead. It's also a great opportunity to start building a relationship with them, which may prove beneficial later on.

Best,

Cristian

Hi there, 

I am an experienced hire at BCG myself. If you are applying for a consulting track (even as an expert) you may eventually get 1st case from your expertise, the rest will be any strategic case as applying for a generalist role.  Your expertise is checked based on your CV but also during the FIT part. 

If you want to find out more, please feel free to reach out directly and I also invite you to check this article that can answer some of your questions: https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/how-to-get-into-consulting-as-an-experienced-hire

Good luck!

Hi there,

A recent client of mine only got the quant GMAT-like assessment but there is a bit more variability in BCG's process and I have seen it change from person to person.

Cheers,
