I have recently been in contacted with a recruiter in McKinsey's Middle East office and I was told that they are interested in my profile. The person was very friendly and was able to answer all of my questions and clarify several things about the application process. I was also told to apply through the web portal, and to notify the recruiter I have been in touch with once I have submitted my application. I was wondering if this is considered a referral? Has anyone else been through a similar process? and did you eventually get an offer?
Thank you.
I’m not 100% sure if the person I contacted is part of the HR or a consultant. Is it possible to get a referral from a partner? Is it still a good idea to try and get a referral even though I have submitted my application?
If you have the chance to get a referral also after your application submission do it, it would definitely help. The key point is that you still have to know an insider to get your reference
I have previously contacted an engagement manager in the office I’m interested in applying to and I wanted to ask you what would be the best way to ask him for a referral?
