Do Recruiters Recruit for Their Own Office Only?

hey guys,

do consulting firm recruiters recruit for their own office only? for instance, if you go to a northeastern school, will it be mostly the recruiters from local offices (boston, nyc, wash dc) or is it more general?

also, can you request specific areas of the country in your interview and not have that come across wrong?

Most if not all of the recruiters I have dealt with were out of NYC and recruited for the company as a whole. I did everything through NY, for a position in DC.

Still not sure if I want to spend the next 30+ years grinding away in corporate finance and the WSO dream chase or look to have enough passive income to live simply and work minimally.
 

The recruiters at MBB are focused on recruiting for their own office, and will pass along candidates with different geographical preferences to recruiters from other offices. Offer decisions are made at the office level, not firm-wide (though it's certainly coordinated).

 

yeah, that's what i was thinking. i just thought it would be strange that the people who actually meet you aren't the same people who decide to extend you an offer or not. what do they do, say "hey random guy at the dallas office who i've never met, you should give this guy an offer. i was his case interviewer and he's cool"?
