Annoyed. Interviewed with McKinsey recruiter who stated she liked my profile. Forwarded it to hiring manager who apparently shot me down before even talking to me. Why not run it past him first?

Recruiters are far less knowledgeable than ppl in the business, this is not uncommon. They look for credentials and characteristics but keep in mind this is someone who has never done what we do nor understands it

I've just never heard of anyone interviewing with a recruiter for a client facing role.

What kind of interview was it? Phone screen?

According to her he stated my background was "impressive" but still feel like my time was wasted and I still don't know why.

Also, was that an inhouse McK or external?

Inhouse.

Yeah that's definitely a tease lol

@Bain, hey gurl, I'll respond to your messages 😉

You interviewed with a recruiter? For what type of role?

Talk about a plot twist. ^^

Engagement Manager. @SBKay

Longest phone screen ever too. Hour long.

Ah, okay. That's not so unusual. What D1 said^

Similar thing happened to me. I am at PwC's M&A practice and a recruiter contacted me for a McK position in a "divestiture" practice. After I talked to the recruiter the whole thing seemed off and didn't proceed (I'm not looking to switch to another consulting firm anyway). But she sent me the public bios of the McK Partners who were looking.

Bain1, I'll compliment you on your wit and looks as much as you want. Gay guys are some of the toughest bunch to get a compliment from that is genuine.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
