@Guidehouse hiring managers - I have a few friends at the firm who keep referring me to roles I have ~90%+ alignment to, but nothing seems to even make it past screening.

Do I need to just start finding practice area Directors on LinkedIn and aggressively networking directly to get in? What do? How job?

Context: DC-based federal management consultant, masters degree, 5 YoE in operations transformation / digital strategy, bonus: diversity hire.

Not a hiring manager, but have referred a couple people. Have the GH person referring you to reach out to the recruiter on your behalf.

likehelpful

The referrals help, but has a recruiter ever reached out to you? The recruiters at the firm I am at, once they like someone- send their resume for any role that may be a fit...

As an SM if I refer someone, I often send the resume to the recruiter directly to flag the applicant.

^so rathe than going after the Directors- I’d see if your friends can determine a path/dialogue with recruiting.

helpful

Agreed w GH 2 and SM 1, when I refer I send an email to both the hiring manager and recruiter and attach the resume again even though I put it in the system.

I give an introduction as well as a quick recap of their work and how it fits that posting. Do their jobs for them.

When I and the hiring manager I make sure I know which people are referrals and usually take them first.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
