Hello all, 

Do you know if Kearney has an office in İstanbul? There is information there is an office in their career page/also I see people on LinkedIn  but there is no open position available for İstanbul office whereas all other locations started to recruiting period.

Hi there,

1) Do you know if Kearney has an office in İstanbul?

If they have an office on their site and people on LinkedIn there, they should have an office. They might simply not have open positions there.

2) Which locations to apply best for someone knowing English and Turkish only?

Turkey is probably your best bet, unless you are sure they are not hiring.

Other regions where they accept English only close to Turkey are:

  • UK
  • The Nordics
  • The Netherlands (only for some companies like Bain, as others require Dutch)
  • The Middle East

Even if the local language is not required, you will normally need two things to apply to a different country:

  1. Working rights
  2. A connection with the country

Good luck!

Hi there,

From my understanding KEarney does indeed have an office in Instabul. Just because they don't list open positions does not mean there aren't any available (there may be internal ones, those reserved for university recruiting, etc.)

English+Turkish = Turkey, UK, Dubai, Canada, US, Australia (but, you just told us English/Turkish….not your visa/working rights)

Remember, networking is critical not just for getting intel/info on office locations, openings, and optimal office selections, but also in greatly increasing your chances of getting invited to interview:

Hi there!

Even if there are no positions official on their website, reach out to the recruiter and ask whether they have anything available or if they have visibility on when they will have positions available again. 

In the meantime, it's worth also starting to network with the Istanbul contacts you identified. Here's how to lead these discussions:


Best,
Cristian

Hi,

A quick Linkedin search shows 19 people at a Kearney Istanbul office. You can try reaching out to them to learn more about the office.

Also, keep in mind that sometimes, even when the office in some location is listed on the company's website, it may only serve a representative function and may not necessarily have any work going on there.

Regards,
Nick

Hi yes they do have an office in Istanbul, but may open positions sporadically hence why they are not published
