Hi,

Typically for experienced hires, there is no ‘fixed’ recruiting cycles. It is normally on a rolling basis and dependent on the slots/needs of the firm.

Sometimes they may post availabilities online (website, LinkedIn), but this may not always be the case. Best thing to do is check with recruiting/HR in the London office. 

If you haven't started networking yet, I'd strongly suggest that you do - this can help not just with recruiting intel but also with a potential referral.

All the best!

Agree with Benjamin here. Warm regards, Frederic 

Hi there!

 We would all like to understand them better :)

Basically, each company and location can set their own cycle. Now that firms went through an agressive hiring period over the past couple of years, they're a bit more temperate about how many people they hire. So some offices have closed or significantly reduced hiring for this year. 

Your best bet is to contact HR and get an update from them. My expeectation would be that indeed they will re-open at the start of the year (most likely second half of Jan). 

Have a look also at the following article on how to best set up your application strategy:

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

The hiring cycle in MBB for experienced hires is continuous. Work on expanding your network to get some referrals. They always accelerate recruiting processes.

Hi there, 

Q: Does anyone know when Bain (London) will reopen applications? I will apply as an experienced hire.

I am not sure when they will reopen exactly, however given you are applying as an experienced hire and they just closed applications, I would recommend looking for a referral and checking with them internally. 

In this way, you should (i) get updated information and be able to apply immediately when there is a new opening, which might lead to an advantage and (ii) strengthen the application anyway with the referral.

You can find more on referrals below:

Good luck!
