Prism Executive Recruitment is very much a niche specialist, mainly focussed on placing candidates with recent experience gained as a permanent consulting employee within an established UK management consultancy employer, in a permanent consultancy related role.
Many of our clients are consulting firms or are corporates seeking management consultants and unfortunately, they will only pay us a fee for finding candidates with such experience: invariably as a result they are seeking a close match and not willing to compromise.
We are therefore not able to assist those seeking a career change into a management consultancy role or a first move after leaving University.
However we are often asked:
- how to switch to management consulting?
- how to get into consulting without experience?
- how to become a management consultant?
So we have compiled some helpful links and resources below.
In our experience, direct approaches to consulting firms and people in your network in target employers are likely to be the best route for you if you are wanting to consider options in management consultancy.
Below are some useful links
Information on management consultancy in general, as well as careers in management consultancy and also potential employers can be found in these sites and articles:
- Inside Careers
- MCA
- Top Consultant
- Consultancy.UK top 100 Consulting Firms
- Financial Times UK’s Leading Management Consultants
Some of the sites and articles are aimed at the graduate level but do feature useful information and employers that may be relevant to more experienced job seekers.
LinkedIn and Glassdoor searches are also a good source of potential employers to approach albeit the jobs on those sites may also be seeking experienced consultants.
These links to information on careers in management consultancy might also interest you:
Source Global Research is a great resource for in-depth consultancy insights, albeit some areas are for members only.
Here is another excellent one: https://www.consultantsmind.com/
Our Management Consultants Job Search Survey highlights the point about the network.
Feel free to get some more advice and guidance on job seekers.
Good luck!
