Hi, I'm applying for Bain EU office after a mentoring call with a Bain partner in US, who worked with on a project a few years ago. At end of the call, she asked me to put her name in cover letter at my application and mentioned to HR that we have talked.
I originally expected her to ask for my resume then forward it to HR but it didn't happen that way, so I have two questions:
1. can a Bain partner do a referral across continents by its regional staffing policy? i.e. a partner in US refers a candidate to EU office.
2. will a name dropping of this partner in the cover letter work in your perspective?
Thank you all.
