Bain & Company How many candidates does a typical MBB final round interviewer interview in a large office (NY, SF, Chicago etc) on a given final round interview day during a) the main recruiting seasons and b) off cycle interview days (eg Jan-Feb)? I have one coming up and my friend thinks I might be the only one interviewing in the final round across the whole day since it is off cycle—is that possible?.

Not very helpful🤔

I’ve interviewed a single person for final rounds on a day and I’ve interviewed 7. It’s so variable depending on 1) how many people we’re interviewing, 2) how many interviewers we have available, and 3) how much free time each interviewer is willing to provide.

No. How they perform affects the pass rate. I’ve turned down 6 people who all underperformed on the same day and I’ve passed 3 people on a different day. Number of people is truly irrelevant at least at McK

It’s usually about 6-8, sometimes I do a half day and it’s 3 or 4. Unlikely in a big office you’d ever be truly the only one. It’s usually a question of how many slates of interviews the recruiting team could pull together on one day

Check Google news for staffing shortages. It’s across the board

Are you a lateral (assuming you are cause there is no off cycle for undergrad)?

I recently went thru the process and had 2 interviews that were ~2 hours (1 hour each) for one of those offices as my final round

🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean, I needed my interviews pushed up and was probably the only one on my days since they were at random times. Who cares?

Atleast at BCG, you wouldn’t be the only one. That’s why they give you a date

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
