I imagine it has to do with market perception. Nobody is questioning whether MBB has the “best and brightest,” so they can afford to be a bit more diverse on the bottom end and take a chance with non target schools etc. Accenture strategy aspires to “play up” and compete with MBB outside of IT. Given that Accenture doesn’t have the same brand as MBB in strategy, strong academic pedigrees for its consultants is likely one way to try to signal to the market that they are a serious player
This is correct.
Source: I’m an interviewer for MBA candidates at ACN Strategy.
We constantly review the volume of talent needed and the quality that comes from our current target schools. We do adjust every few years. If we get the talent we need from fewer places, that makes everything easier, so why go broader? Why be unnecessarily not selective?
We do accept candidates from a number of non-traditional backgrounds, too, who we meet at specific conferences.
ACN has far fewer spots in the incoming strategy class than one would think, given Accenture’s overall size
Yep. Made no sense that MBB/big 4 came to my campus (MBA) but ACN didn’t. Had plenty of classmates who would loved to have recruited.
Active recruiting is very narrowly focused on top schools for the "play up" reason mentioned. We don't actively recruit at Harvard/ Yale/ Wharton/ Stanford etc. because of relatively low rate of acceptance vs costs of a whole recruiting team (plus interviewers) & compelling swag for multiple weekends of career fairs and interviews (based on a convo w/ regional recruiting lead).
As for why we don't allow non-target top 25 schools to apply, I really don't understand it. It seems like it we could at least use a phone interview screener.
