Was referred to Bain, but never got any call.

• Tried reaching out to HR via email to followup but no response.

• Tried reaching out to Directors and Partner on LinkedIn, no response.

- For someone who joined laterally, how did you navigate through ? How to get through ?

Any comments from anyone please ?

Are you talking about a role with Bain India or BCN?

It's very hard to get in if you didn't come in through the referral or target university. Or the other way, is direct campus placement.

MBB and firms of the same stature have a list of target schools. They usually recruit from there as prestige of firms lie on prestige of schools their employees went to.

Partners usually never directly connect with prospective applicants on LinkedIn or other forums. They are partners and very busy in their work. They only show up at the last stage of recruitment.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.

What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Director interview after super day?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
