We recruit at leading business schools and undergraduate institutions as part of the Bain worldwide system. In addition, we also hire people with industry experience.
Successful candidates will demonstrate sustained high performance in professional and educational settings, intellectual curiosity, a strong work ethic and excellent team skills.
Working for Bain requires very strong analytical and interpersonal skills. Bain consultants are trained to be strategy specialists, but remain pure generalists in terms of industries covered. No specific business expertise is required (although the most senior entry points do require consulting experience) as Bain will tailor your introduction and training program to your needs.
