Does BCG always ask people rejected in final rounds to reapply? Just found out I was "barely" eliminated from the pool to receive an offer at the W. European BCG office where I've been interviewing for the past 5(!) months as an industry hire. The rep said it was "really close" and they'd be "delighted" to see me again in a year, but I don't know to what extent that's just the usual BCG niceness vs an actual recommendation. Would it be worth it to try again or are they just letting me down easy?

Had the same happen to me recently in a DACH office. Was told by the interviewer that they had one of the longest integrations (ca 45 min about me) and that I was a reject reapply.

Just like you, I thought that this was just some feel-good/soft letdown bs. But in my case, my recruiter called me the following week giving me more feedback and telling me, I could reapply in as soon as 6 months and that I would be fast-tracked to final round interviews next time.

My advice would be to just ask your recruiter, what the exact stipulations of reject reapply are in your case.

Not in my experience. It’s usually for very high potential candidates. Onus will be on you to follow up, but you should reapply if still of interest after the cooling off period they told you about

Regardless of how close you were, always worth trying again.

It’s a separate classification - DRR reapply - not every decision round reject gets it.

Decision round reject reapply
It just means that your resume is strong enough to take another look but you'd have to do better in interviews

Happened to me twice - made it to final rounds both time, did not pass and got reinvited to apply

Seems like they missed out at the end lol

Happened to me. Decision round interviews two years in a row, did not get an offer. Dont remember seeing any “you were close, please reapply” but after four yrs, a random bcg recruiter reached out and here i am. I am pretty sure they had record of my past interviews when they reached out

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
