I applied for a Director Learning and Development (L&D) role at McKinsey about a month ago via a referral. About a week ago, my McKinsey employee (who referred me) received an automated email saying that I had moved to the pre-screening process of the recruitment process and that I'll hear from the recruiter shortly.

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines etc.

It can take a couple weeks, but if you can get the name of the recruiter it might be a good idea to at least connect via linkedin.

It can take a few weeks - especially in the beginning. Hang in there, and feel free to follow up from time to time.

I wouldn't stress about this. They can be kind of slow. I am sure they will reach out.

It usually takes a week, sometimes even longer. Just give it some more days. You can ask for an update maybe this week.

Would you be willing to share a bit about how you applied with a referral? Was your referral connection through networking?

L&D professionals, how often do you expect your employees to participate in soft skill training?

A VP wants our employees going through monthly soft skills training on widely divergent topics, mandatory attendance. I think it will feel like a good investment initially, but the employees are going to get overloaded with information and not have an opportunity to put what they're learning into practice leading to poor ROI. It would help to hear other's findings so we can decide. Thanks!
