McKinsey’s Oops Recruiting Moment

McKinsey’s Eileen Coleman sent out the stock rejection letter

Dear %PREFERRED,

Thank you for submitting your application and for expressing an interest in discussing full time opportunities with McKinsey & Company.  We have given your background and experience careful consideration and find your skills and accomplishments to be impressive.  Regrettably, we are unable to extend an invitation to interview with us for an associate position.  A decision such as this is always difficult to make, as it requires us to choose from a group of highly qualified and accomplished individuals, such as yourself.

We appreciate your interest in McKinsey and the opportunity to consider your resume.  While we’re sorry for the disappointing news, we wish you the best in your other career endeavors.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide feedback on individual applications.  For reference, this evaluation and decision was made after a full global review and is applicable across all geographies for this position.

Best regards,

Eileen
