I recently read someone commented to a post in this bowl that MBB is trying to diversify its recruiting by hiring from non target schools? Is that true? Can someone speak about this? I would like to apply but don’t want to get my hopes up if there’s no chance. For context, I’m from a non-target school and have 2 YOE.

100% true. Not just about diversity but about casting a wide net to get the best talent generally. Our hiring needs have skyrocketed the last couple years and this is one way to accommodate our needs.

@OP you are an experienced hire though so this is a totally separate process. Your best bet is through a referral.

Thanks B1! Would you happen to know if a specific service industry recruiting is skyrocketing or is it general recruiting?

Went to a crappy state school been getting hit up by recruiters from MBB, A&M and AP lately

That’s awesome. Would you consider moving to MBB from your current firm?

I've heard a more specific form that MBB was increasing hiring among full time MBA programs in the rank 10-20 space, broadening the previous focus on top 10 programs. Think of it more like semi-target versus straight up non-target. Think Duke or Cornell vs Harvard and MIT. If you're talking about a random state school (which isn't CA, MI or VA flagship) you're probably still going to be out of luck.

Yes. A part of this is what other commenters mentioned about getting non-target cream of the crop performers. The other aspect, however, is that recruiting from targets is getting harder with the relentless pressure from tech for competing for talent.
TLDR you get a better return on talent with broadening your hiring pool than you do with dropping even more exorbitant amounts of money on the same small applicant pool.

Thanks BCG! I’m definitely interested to apply but not sure honestly when would I apply bc I’m nervous to get rejected right away bc I attended a state school (Rutgers) despite my YOE😅

MBB all recruit at non target schools for candidates who fill gaps in their divsrsity targets (race, gender, sexual orientation)

Sure, dm me

There are so many ways I could take the project but I’m curious what kind of outline and level of depth you expect from a project like this? I was planning on doing research separately & share so they can see what I normally do, and then a deck showing visuals, mood boards, and messaging ideas etc. Does that seem right?
