Dude(tte) - chill. You don’t have as good a handle on the process as you think.
We have a referral portal. It generates a link. No idea on what timeframe.
More importantly, no one uses the portal. I doubt most of our partners know where/have time to locate it. We email whoever we think is the best recruiting contact (eg lateral lead for your target office). That kicks off a very human, and variable, process.
But what do I know? Maybe just email the partner and call them a liar?
They told me to hang tight for several weeks or more as the referral might take some time, but I now know that's not how their referral process works.
My hunch is they didn't think I was a fit and didn't want to directly turn me down.
Is there any harm in still following up? I don't want to potentially irritate this partner as I would definitely apply in the future after getting an mba.
This is not true for bcg. Mine took over a week to be sent. To my understanding when someone refers you HR sees it and then determines to send a link for you to apply to. I could be wrong since I don’t work there but my referral was submitted and took over a week to hear back.
So what? Pull the trigger
That's the official process. Maybe there's an unofficial one where that partner talks to their recruiter buddy
Partners might not be aware how the system works. Stay tight, and reach out again in 1-2 weeks
That is the process, once you’ve submitted your information, it could take a couple weeks for HR to reach out.
The process at this MBB is to submit a referral through a portal. Once completed, the referred will automatically receive a link to apply within hours. This is what multiple people from that MBB have confirmed
The partner might be giving you a direct referral through a different process since they are high level. Either way .. just reach our
