Dear community members,

Is anyone able to share some updated info on the shape of the recruiting cycle in the Middle East?

Traditionally, even though you were interviewed during the summer, the starting date would have never been set for before September - did Covid change the seasonality of recruitment? Anyone starting in July and August?

Thank you in advance

Hi there,

Not sure about the exact starting date, but I helped recently candidates with interviews with the following companies:

  • Dubai: BCG, Bain, S&, Kearney
  • Riyadh: McK, BCG

I have a pack of 90+ MBB questions asked in the Middle East (real ones – not Glassdoor types ;)), please feel free to PM if you need help.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

From what I've seen, hiring is indeed happening in the Middle East, but it's still subdued (especially in comparison to the booming hiring in the US at the moment). In general, there are multiple cycles a year AND hiring on a rolling basis. This is completely office-specific and pipeline-specific (i.e. depends on needs).
