No, you will not hear from Bain until they made a decision on your application. The Baine who referred you though will have to answer a set of questions about you internally (how they got to know you, what they value about you, etc).   

Your application will be processed internally and depending on the office you will then receive a call to discuss your availability for the recruiting day or an email.

Hope this helps, best

Hi Torben, thank you so much for the detailed reply! You mentioned that the next steps would be a call/email to schedule interviews. Does that mean that the test is skipped?

No, you don't. It's not a candidate facing process.

Hi there,

You will not. You will only receive notification when they have processed your application.

Good luck!

Hi there, 

no, you don't, unless the referrer will notify you, of course:)

Exactly what Henning said! FYI - it's exactly the same at McKinsey.

Hello!

No, you won´t hear from them until the process actually kicks off. 

However, you can follow up with your referrer, in case she/he knows from interacting directly with HR. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
