How hard is it to get hired at Bain?

Probably the toughest part of the application process is passing the initial screening process. As an example, a large Bain office would receive around 3000 applications and narrow it down to about 100 for the first interview. So you would have to be at the top 3% to even get the interview.

What kind of people does Bain hire?

Bain hires people who are passionate about life. "We look for people that are excited about what we do. They are enthusiastic about tackling tough problems for some of the most influential companies in the world. They get energy from working with like-minded peers," Bevans explains.
