Hi, I would like to approach some MBB recruiters by email in order to get more information about an office (I found his/her contact detail in the office webpage). How should I structure my email to get an answer? What to ask and what do not ask?
Do you think this is a good way to get noticed in an office where you don't have contacts?
Thanks!
Hey there,
If you want to get solid info on a specific office, I would email consultants that work there via LinkedIn. I always respond to random LinkedIn messages, and even though a lot of people do not, you still have a good chance of getting the info you need. The issue with recruiters is that they will most likely give you a glorified view of what is going on in the office, since that is their job (and their compensation often depends on hiring quotas).
Hope you find this helpful.
Cheers,
Vas
Hi Anonymous,
I agree with Vasilis, it would be far better to contact a consultant rather than HR; this would also have the added benefit to provide a referral, if you structure well the contact process.
In order to maximize the chance to get a reply/referral, I would suggest the following:
Hope this helps,
