What did you do when you recruited, smarty?

The best answer I’ve heard in an interview (and it’s really about delivering this answer because it’s steeped in koolaid):
From my recruiting experience, there is one firm that recruits people like themselves, and everyone ends up being the same, and you have the same conversations over and over. Another firm recruits wildly different people, but then molds and shapes them to be like the firm rather than remaining themselves. What made BCG seem different is that it takes in wildly different people, and those people remain unique, and that uniqueness is evident in every conversation, and likely brings better outcomes for clients. I want to remain unique.
