Hi all,
Just a quick question regarding the results call. Who communicates the outcome after the final interview? HR or the partner?
Many thanks in advance

HI Anonymous,
Usually McKinsey aims for the 'real' people involved in the interviews, but sometimes due to admin reasons it's also HR calling. So no 100% certainty here.
If it's not HR, at least you can try to push for some more insights and feedback (irrelevant from the outcome) - McKinsey is usually rather scarce in that, but at least it's worth trying to squeeze out at least a bit of feedback!
Hope that helps - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hi there,
The Partners always called or emailed me after the interview. However it is also not uncommon for HR to contact you.
Thanks for your answer, Ian. So a Feedback session with a partner does not indicate a positive or negative outcome in your opinion? How long does these calls last for? Thanks for you insights! — on Aug 04, 2020 (edited)
Correct, it does not indicate a positive or negative outcome. With this, and moving forward in life, try not to read too much into anything you can't change before it happens...not worth the stress/worrying :). Calls are normally quick. 5 minutes — Ian on Aug 06, 2020
Mostly Partners although once it was HR for me. Always good news
Dear A,
Ideally it's a partner who communicate you the outcomes, but it might me also an HR. So be ok with that.
Wish you best of luck,
André
