Firmsconsulting maintains a 80% success rate at placing clients within McKinsey, BCG and Bain. This is the highest in the industry and the rate is higher if we include other firms. We achieve this rate because we only use former partners from McKinsey, BCG et al to develop our clients. This makes us unique. We never use analysts, associates, engagement managers or associate principals. We also carefully select and develop clients on their communication, image, technical and case interview skills. This podcast channel describes our lessons from training our clients.

327: Bain's Obsession with Fit and Personality
In this 327th and new episode of the Case Interview & Management Consulting complimentary podcast, audio version, we discuss Bain's obsession with fit and personality during case interviews. Bain does worry about fit and personality. Enormously. Every client we have ever had, on the eve of their Bain interview, we always tell them, "Hey, you have got to understand that Bain worries about fit and personality." And every client, by and large, says, "Yeah, I understand this. Lets move on to cases." You have to understand how important this is because a disproportionate number of clients are rejected at Bain due to fit issues. If Bain is assessing fit at all times, what is a good way to demonstrate fit? This is a question addressed in this podcast.
