Hi,
My impression is that Bain is quite effective in its recruiting strategy of focusing on the work hard/play hard, life/work balance, low key attitude concepts etc..., achieving to recruit several talented people who carefully look at these things...especially after the dot.com and 9/11 etc...
I never heard something similar from Mck, and sincerely untill now I did not grasp exactly what really distinguishes the Mck`s recruiting strategy, apart from being the "top" firm...but I don`t know much about the rest...Could you please comment on Bain`s strategy, how effective you find it, how you compare it to Mck`s, what else Mck proposes as key concepts, what is Mck made of in 2/3 words...
Thanks for your kind comments |

Don??t want to bad mouth Bain but their recruiting strategy/organization for APD's in North America is complete shambles.
As far as marketing themselves, I think Bain is akin to catch-words such as, ??True North??, ??Result Driven??, ??80/20??, ??Work Hard, Play Hard?? etc.
About McKinsey??s recruiting efforts--others with actual recruiting experience can comment on this but McKinsey won the recruiting excellence award in 2005 from Stanford MBAs
