The last few years have seen a proliferation of early recruiting programs by firms like MBB, Big 4, and top boutique consulting firms. 

These programs - i.e., Bridge to BCG, Bain BEL, Link to L.E.K., PwC Destination CPA - represent an opportunity for firms to expand their talent pipelines to reach more candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. 

But for candidates? If accepted, you dramatically increase your odds of later receiving an offer to join the firm in an intern or full-time capacity.

These programs target 4 candidate groups:

• Advanced Degrees
• Freshmen/sophomores from underrepresented groups
• Non-U.S. candidates
• Incoming first-year MBAs

In this episode, we share an overview of these programs, who they are for, application timelines, and how to set yourself apart in applications.

Make sure to read the articles below for more info on the each of these early recruiting programs.
