Hi there,

I was hoping to ask if anyone currently working at an MBB firm in Toronto, Canada knows and would kindly confirm whether:

1. There is a hiring freeze on the recruitment of generalist consultant positions at least for now (and the few months?).

2. MBB firms use online assessments during their interviews here (e.g. PST/Imbellus Game for McKinsey, Potential Test for BCG and Online Test for Bain)

Thank you!

Best.

Hi there,

First, ask HR! It's a great excuse to contact them in any case and get them familiar with your name.

1) No, but there may be delayed start dates

2) Yes

Hi,

1) MBB companies are not having any freezes (at least officially). In the times of economic downturn, they are just hiring less and might shift a start date.

2) Yes, same as everywhere

Hi, I confirm MBB are continuing to hire new candidates (only less than usual) and assessing them with standard tests. McK uses Imbellus (not PST anymore)

Hello,

  1. It depends on the offices and seniority. Just to give you an example, BCG and McKinsey has stopped interviews for junior position in Italy, but they are still interviewing senior profiles
  2. Yes, fell free to write me for additional information/material to prepare them

Best,

Hello,

I do not know the exact situation in Canada but in any case even in freeze periods, HR @MBB continue their CV screening work and register candidates in the pipeline. In all cases, the firms structurally need to recruit at some point to compensate the natural departures which are numerous (even in the event of zero or slightly negative growth!)

Best,

Hello!

  1. Ask HR directly, they will advise you best. However, there is not such thing officially as hiring freeze, more a slowdown.
  2. Yes, indeed, the new gamified one.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
