I recently interviewed for a Chief of Staff role. All they seemed to care about was if my experience lined up with someone who would come from MBB. Like why even interview me if you’re already going to reject me based on brand name?

Not just brand name. MBB gives different experience as well. Which aligns better with c level roles.

Audit trail to prove they attempted to hire a ‘diverse’ candidate range. Seemed like they knew exactly who they wanted to hire in the first place.

I’d disagree that MBB roles line up with Chief of Staff. There’s a perceived competence attached to people from those backgrounds. Which may be true in a broad sense. But, if this roles sits in a specific field, MBB backgrounds always underdeliver - context matters a lot

MBB is a T1 for a reason.

Having been rejected from MBB, I can also confirm the calibre of people is a lot higher at MBB

Dude they have to show that everyone was given equal opportunity for the role. Of course they'll take MBB in the end.

Had several great interviews at a company. Reached out to internal recruiter a few days ago. No word back. Should I send a LinkedIn message to the person that would be my boss to check in?

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
