Hi anon – background checks and reference checks are definitely a part of the recruiting process for management and strategy consulting jobs. I would not take any risks when exaggerating accomplishments – that will backfire 9 times out of 10. When conducting reference checks, a prospective employer will typically double check dates, relevant details from your resume, and ask broader questions regarding your role, contributions, and general reputation at the prior firm. Hope that helps, thanks!

Hi! Thanks for this super-amazing guide! I haven’t seen things like background checks and references discussed for consulting jobs. Are these not carried out in the consulting industry? Secondly, how much exaggeration is ok / how much detail do they ask when checking references?

Hope you can help!

I’m an undergrad currently beginning to prep for recruiting and I was wondering if you had a game plan? ex: read vault guide to consulting once, case in point twice, practice behaviorals for 1 week, cases for 1 month, etc
