McKinsey 🐠,

A recruiter reached out out of the blue regarding an analyst position with the Orpheus team. After reading about Orpheus, I realized it’s a specialist group. I’m not entirely interested in procurement and would love to be considered for a generalist consulting role instead. Any advice on how to navigate that conversation with the recruiter?

Different recruiting teams so same person won’t be able to assess your profile for a generalist position. Just be clear you’re not interested in procurement then, and apply via the standard route for the generalist role?
