Will McKinsey administer Imbellus to all resume screen passing candidates (non-target MBA school recruiting)?

Hi,
it is not a signal of been screened out, it is only an automated service that spread the test on different days for more convenience (without any prioritization criteria). If you are in a hurry, I recommend to call/email HR to have more detail about your situation without worrying about bothering them: they are there to help
Best,

Dear A,
Yes. After you submit application documents, you have to pass the initial screening. Only those candidates, who passed the screening will be invited to Imbellus test. So if you haven't yet received your invite, please, follow up with HR, because it's also possible that you have out screened.
If you need any help or assistance in securing interviews, drop me a line.
Best,
André

Hi,
McKinsey is still AB testing Imbellus, so it can be the case that you'll not write it at all
