McKinsey HR Interview

Question

My first round interviews with McKinsey consist of 2 back-to-back interviews of 50 minutes each, preceded by a 30 minute HR interview. I was wondering what to expect during the HR part. Aren't the Fit questions already included in the "main" interviews?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi,

I heard about HR interviews in some US offices for generalist positions and HR interviews for McKinsey subsidiaries like Digital Ventures.

Agree with Bruno, same questions as for the regular interview:

Story about yourself
Why consulting, Why McKinsey
Stories: Personal impact, leadership, achievement / entrepreneurial drive
Your questions to the interviewer

Best

Answer 2

Hey,

Which office are you applying to? In the Western European ones never heard about any HR interview.

Anyway, the fit questions are indeed included within the main interview

Best

Answer 3

Expect mainly FIT!
