Hi all,

Does anyone know the recruitment cycles at BCG Dubai / Middle East? Are there any application deadlines or is it fully on a rolling basis.

I would be also interested to understand the hiring situation look right now in general at BCG Middle East.

Thanks!

Hi there, 

My strong recommendation is to reach directly to HR and ask.

Recruitment cycles are different from region to region and firm to firm. They also change quite often. So it's always best to get your info straight from the source. 

Usually, for experienced hires there is no specific deadline and the applications are on an ongoing basis. Still, it's best to check. 

If you're starting your application process now, sharing with you here a guide on how to build a winning strategy to secure at least one offer:

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

You haven't told us what role and what recruiting channel so it's hard to help!

Here's some reading to help you (full-time tips same as internship tips): https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/how-to-get-a-consulting-internship-tips-and-tricks

Via channels (Like undergrad, MBA, etc.) there are firm application deadlines. Via external/experiences hires it's rolling.

Please network - this not only improves your chances but also lets you figure out exactly when there are positions open for your office + role

Thanks Ian. Applying as a grad school / master's graduate (so entry-level consultant)

If already graduated then it is rolling!

So it seems like neither campus recruitment nor experienced hire applies to me. I am a business school master's grad class of 2022, spent one year as a freelance professional and I am looking now for an entry-level consulting job.

You're experienced hire. Not sure why you're saying it doesn't apply.

Hey, 

Recruitment is on a filling-basis, they have some big targets for this year, so they should be still recruiting.

Recruitment cycles at BCG Dubai and the Middle East can vary, but generally, BCG follows a rolling basis approach for accepting applications. This means that they accept applications throughout the year and review them as they come in. However, it's important to note that BCG may also have specific recruitment drives or events where they actively seek candidates for certain positions or offices.
