Have seen a few LinkedIn posts now with people in the class of 2027 saying they have signed FT for McKinsey post-grad, and it doesn’t appear they have/are interning there. Anyone know what is going on?

It seems like McKinsey's full-time hiring process for post-graduates is creating some buzz. Based on the most helpful WSO content, McKinsey has been known to extend full-time offers to candidates who may not have interned with them. This could be due to their proactive recruitment strategy, where they identify high-potential candidates early, even without prior internship experience at the firm.
Additionally, McKinsey's recruitment timelines and processes can vary by region and program. For example, their 2024 Full-Time BA recruitment had a deadline of July 14th, and discussions on WSO suggest that candidates are actively hearing back for interviews or offers. It's possible that some of these offers are part of their broader strategy to secure top talent ahead of competitors.
If you're seeing LinkedIn posts from the class of 2027, it might indicate McKinsey's focus on locking in exceptional candidates early, even before traditional internship pathways. This aligns with their reputation for being highly selective and innovative in their hiring practices.
