Hello,

Is it normal for MBB partners to view your social media profiles (LinkedIn) during the screening process? Is this a good sign?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Neither a good nor a bad sign but certainly common-ish.

Just go in and focus on crushing it :)

Hi there,

yes, it happens if they need to check something very quick. It's also due to the fact that LinkedIn is easier to read than a CV.

Cheers,

Hey there,

Can happen to verify a certain bit of information from your resume. Would not interpret it as positive or negative. :-)

Hi there,

Certainly is normal. It's the quickest way to get a snapshot of what you're about, typically faster than reading a resume.

I would expect this more from recruiters than for partners. But anybody who visits is taking an interest, so that's a good sign!

Best of luck,

Allen

Hi there,

Not usual for partners, as they don’t screen CVs, but could happen. It is neither a good or a bad sign.

Best,

Good luck with your final round :)

There is no implication around this. It would typically be more out of personal curiosity. By the time your CV reaches a partner for final round interviews, they won't be questioning whether you have lied in your CV or not.
