Unfortunatley I don't know the specific situation for the Abu Dhabi office but my guess would be that recruiting is covered by the team in Dubai. I would look up individuals on Linkedin and email them. The McKinsey email ID is First name_Last n***@m*******.com. I personally would avoid calling as recruiters - imagine being in their shoes and having candidates cold calling spontaneously...

Hi there,

If it is impossible to connect over the phone I would say you have to options:

1. Email HR
2. Connect with current consultants, ask them the questions + use the call to find a referral

You can find more on referrals here:

Hope this helps,

Hello there!

Have you tried to contact them via the Contact Us section on their website? You could specify your question concerning Abu Dhabi office or connect with McKinsey Middle East here by filling out the form
https://www.mckinsey.com/middle-east/contact-us

This process may take some time, so you could just use LinkedIn to contact consultants from there. Plus, it's a good way to find a referral.

Going through the official channels on their website or through a connection of yours are typically the best choices. I would not try to email people directly that you haven't met, just by guessing their email adresses.

Hi there,

Here are your options:

1. Email
2. Complete this form: https://www.mckinsey.com/middle-east/contact-us
3. Reach out on LinkedIn
4. Speak to anyone else you can find in the office
5. Call from another number

Good luck!

Hi,

Have you tried sending an e-mail? In some countries McKinsey recruiting also has social networks

Hi, try to find the name through LinkedIn and then mail to name . surname @ McKinsey . com

Do not worrying about bothering HR, they are there to help

Best,
Antonello

Maybe because of Covid no one is in the office

Hi,

I woul suggest try the Recruiting email box or try to identify the person in LinkedIn and send a message.

HR usually quite responsive in LinkedIn.

Best,
Iman
