Crowdsourced list on how Corona affects hiring at McKinsey/BCG/...

Hello!

Unfortunately too generalistic, this also depends on the different regions.

However, Mckinsey is also continuing with recruiting in Europe and Latam atm, I have some of my coachees interviewing this week. Just that it´s being done by VC

Cheers,

Hi!

What I have also seen is that some offices try to bring forward interviews if they fear an impending lockdown. So interviews where scheduled with only 24 or 48 hours notice. Seen this in Australia and Middle East last week. This has caused a stress peak for some of my mentees (and myself ;)), but fortunately all have been able to still secure at least on MBB offer, despite the rush. That being said, this is just a snapshot and the picture might again change drastically within days.

Cheers, Sidi

Great list. At Kearney Middle East hiring is still ongoing although one should expect a delay in the process. Happy to answer any further questions.

Rergarding BCG GERMANY: Has the POTENTIAL TEST moved online, or does BCG skip the test? THX

The recruitment is on hold in the countries with strict lockdowns or the ones badly affected by the virus. However, recruiting continues for most with some noticeable changes in the process such as

• Majority of recruiting activities being done online
• Postponement of joining dates to a time when the situation is expected to have improved
• Interview process taking longer than otherwise

BCG in Italy is still hiring as if never happened.
