We are not able to assist those seeking a career change into a management consultancy role or a first move at the start of their career.
Prism Executive Recruitment is a specialist recruiter, 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.
However we are often asked:
- how can I switch to management consulting?
- can I get into management consulting without experience?
- what is the best way 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 if you are considering a first move into management consultancy.
Where to find more information
For information on careers in management consultancy and also for potential employers to approach please review these sites and articles:
Some of the sites and articles are aimed at entry level. However they 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.
Jooble are a jobsite who aggregate management consultant job vacancies, many of which are at a more junior level or graduate entry.
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.
Consultant Mind is another excellent source of information.
Our Management Consultants Job Search Survey highlights the point about the network.
Here is more advice and guidance for job seekers.
Good luck!
