Getting Hired

 

A brief look at the firm’s recruitment site reveals the utter transparency of its interview process.  With a host of videos and resources describing each portion of the interview and offering advice on how to best approach them, it’s clear that the firm wants its candidates to be exceptionally well prepared—and that's no surprise given the high demand for positions within the prestigious firm.  Candidates who forego a perusal of the site the site shouldn’t worry; as one recent hire explains, “McKinsey provides case coaches before each round of interviewing—very helpful!”  Because of the sheer volume of resumes received, applicants are meticulously prescreened; only those with the utmost qualifications, including decorated working histories, will receive an initial interview.
