If you get a call from an MBB recruiter telling you to apply does that always mean you will get an interview?

No not really. Haven’t had experience with MBB but for EY had similar situation where recruiter told to apply & very next day got rejection

funny

Its never 100% but high chance you might get an interview

How did that happen and did you know why?

Recruiter reached out to me on Handshake with specific role & didn’t know reason for rejection as never received feedback

Oh I meant like a phone call. Yh I get those on handshake too I feel they are automated because I am not even qualified for the jobs.

Not the phone call but had a good chat with recruiter on Handshake & then applied

@c1. Yeah I hope it does. Had phone screen from BCG but I wasn’t worried because I had Partner referral. For Bain I am going in blind but they seemed positive and like I would get one

Maybe slightly higher chance to get an interview, but definitely not guaranteed.

Got it
