East Coast Speaking Tour: Recruiting In A Down Market

Brian of Mergers & Inquisitions posted on this very topic earlier today.

We’re scheduling a trip to the East Coast next week to speak at schools about recruiting for finance and consulting. While a bit late in the fulltime and summer cycle for many – we think the advice is still pertinent and particularly helpful if your job search has been a struggle thus far.

Some of the topics we’ll discuss include:

  • James Ackerman

    I’m a senior graduating in May 2009. I know that most firms have already done their recruiting this past fall, but unfortunately, I was studying abroad. Do you have a breakdown of how the firms recruit? Are there some firms that do their recruiting in Winter and Spring? \

  • kgao

    @James – I’ll answer that question in my weekly reader question round-up. I’m doing that now for most reader questions through comments or email – just a better distribution channel for general-interest questions.

    I just got word that you and Brian will be speaking at UPenn tomorrow. I guess I’ll see you both there.

  • Aki

    Great blog. I will certainly share this with my friends and colleagues.

    Do you have a point of view on experienced (non-Partner) hiring at Big 3 firms? Did you see this happen frequently or rarely?

  • kgao

    @Aki – it’s rare but happens. Typically requires an extensive industry/functional background, or several years at a very well-known firm. Much of that hiring is relationship-based.
