Hi, I would like to approach some MBB recruiters by email in order to get more information about an office (I found his/her contact detail in the office webpage). How should I structure my email to get an answer? What to ask and what do not ask?
Do you think this is a good way to get noticed in an office where you don't have contacts?
Thanks!
Hi Anonymous,
I agree with Vasilis, it would be far better to contact a consultant rather than HR; this would also have the added benefit to provide a referral, if you structure well the contact process.
In order to maximize the chance to get a reply/referral, I would suggest the following:

Hey there,
If you want to get solid info on a specific office, I would email consultants that work there via LinkedIn. I always respond to random LinkedIn messages, and even though a lot of people do not, you still have a good chance of getting the info you need. The issue with recruiters is that they will most likely give you a glorified view of what is going on in the office, since that is their job (and their compensation often depends on hiring quotas).
Hope you find this helpful.
Cheers,
Vas
