A headhunter reached out for a BCG role. Is that a thing?

We do it a lot for Platinion, have seen it a little for the “Digital” core consulting path.

Would recommend asking them to be really clear on which it is before proceeding. I thought I was interviewing for BCG - they really played down the Platinion thing. It wasn’t until a few months in I realised there is a huge difference in pay, staffing opportunities, and frankly, respect within the firm.

Yah, make sure this is BCG classic.

For what it’s worth, I’ve worked with Platinion folks on a couple of cases and they’ve always been valuable members of the team. Frequently helping to sell the work and bringing key expertise to the table.

I’m sure that experience isn’t the same across teams (on either side), but I for one have nothing but respect for the Platinion team members I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
