In this special episode of Beyond the Bio, Keith Bevans and guest host Daniel Yellin flip the usual format and focus entirely on recruiting advice. Rather than spotlighting individual career journeys, they bring together fresh insights from six Bain consultants across tenures who only recently navigated the process themselves.
The episode explores what it means to show up with curiosity, take ownership of your journey, and approach recruiting as a two-way street, where candidates should be evaluating Bain just as much as Bain evaluates them. Listeners will hear how authenticity can set you apart in interviews, why it’s important to consider not only the job but also the city and lifestyle that come with it, and how being intentional matters far more than striving for an impossible sense of perfection. Above all, these guests encourage candidates to enjoy the process, to view it not just as a stressful hurdle but as an opportunity to build meaningful relationships and lasting connections.
With candid reflections, practical advice, and even a few bonus clips at the end, this episode offers a thoughtful, reassuring perspective for anyone preparing to take the next step in their career journey with Bain.
In Beyond the Bio, Keith Bevans, partner and global head of consultant recruiting, dives deeper into the stories of some extraordinary Bain people, from their perspectives.
