Getting Hired

Tips from the inside

Only the best

The recruitment process at BCG is “extremely selective,” say insiders, and “anyone who receives an offer has been vetted by at least four to six senior colleagues.” From what sources tell us, there appears to be “three rounds of interviews” adding up to six interviews in total. “Generally four are case interviews and two are with senior partners, who typically ask questions about the individual,” according to one insider. For “post MBA and PhD applicants, there are two rounds of interviews, with each round consisting of two one-hour interviews.”

BCG recruits for Asia Pacific from the “top MBA schools in the US and in Europe.” In Greater China, it also looks at high-fliers from the top local schools in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taipei. In Korea, Yonsei, KAIST and POSTECH feature prominently on the firm's recruiting list, while the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University are regulars on the list in Japan.
