If I move countries, does McKinsey Keep in Touch follow me to the new office?

McKinsey Keep In Touch

I joined Keep in Touch through one country, but I may relocate before I apply full-time. Is the program connected to McKinsey globally, or would I need to restart the relationship with recruiting in the new office?

Do not assume it automatically transfers across offices or countries.

Should McKinsey Keep in Touch go on LinkedIn or your resume?

McKinsey Keep In Touch

I received McKinsey Keep in Touch and I am not sure whether it is something candidates normally mention publicly. It is encouraging, but it is not an offer or an internship. Would putting it on LinkedIn or my resume look strange?

I would not treat Keep in Touch like a job, award, or formal credential on your resume. Its main value is the relationship and future recruiting opportunity, not the label itself.

Is McKinsey Keep in Touch selective or does everyone get it?

McKinsey Keep In Touch

I was invited to McKinsey Keep in Touch after not moving forward and I cannot tell how much to read into it. Is KIT actually selective, or is it something most rejected candidates get? I am happy to stay connected either way, but I do not want to mistake a generic program for some hidden fast track.

Do not assume every rejected candidate receives the same follow-up. Keep in Touch can be selective, but the selection logic is not public enough to turn the invitation into a precise ranking of your candidacy.

Does McKinsey Keep in Touch actually lead to interviews later?

McKinsey Keep In Touch

For people who were put into McKinsey Keep in Touch, did it ever turn into a real interview later? I am trying to understand whether this is something worth paying attention to or just a nice rejection softener.

It can lead to future recruiting opportunities, but there is no automatic conversion from Keep in Touch to interview.

What is McKinsey's Keep in Touch program, exactly?

McKinsey Keep In Touch

I keep seeing people mention McKinsey Keep in Touch after an application or interview, but I do not understand what it actually means. Is it for candidates they liked but could not hire, or is it basically a marketing list? If you are invited, should you treat it as a meaningful recruiting signal?

Keep in Touch is generally a way for McKinsey to maintain a relationship with candidates they may want to engage again in the future. The precise reason someone is invited can vary.

What should you do after getting McKinsey Keep in Touch?

McKinsey Keep In Touch

I got invited to McKinsey's Keep in Touch program after recruiting and I am not sure what I am supposed to do with it. Is there anything proactive I should be doing, or do you just wait for McKinsey to contact you again?

Treat Keep in Touch as a positive relationship signal, but not as an offer or guaranteed interview.
