At McKinsey, are recruiters the people who do the CV screening and decide whether one gets invited to interviews, or are these consultants who do this?
Hello!
Yes indeed, the CV screening is performed by recruiting.
In McK, for instance, HR is divided precisely into Recruiting (just cited) and Staffing.
They also organize the career fairs and Uni talks.
Hope it helps!

To add to other answers - For on campus recruiting, consultants are significantly involved in screening as well once HR has gone through the initial cut. Which is why networking with alumni is crucial to getting in.

There are slight nuances by office but generally speaking it is recruiter driven. Even if a consultant or partner makes a referral, the recruitment team have the final day on whether to extend an interview invitation or not. Beyond that, it is purely consultant driven into terms of advancing to final rounds and consequently extending an offer.
Hi,
Yes, it's recruiters.
Hope this helps.
