How does LBS MBA IB/MBB recruiting work?

I've heard that there's no formal OCR in UK as in the US and networking almost never works for large banks/firms. So how does it happen? Do they have to apply online to every position?

You heard incorrectly. Every single BB with a European office along with all the consulting firms, not just MBB, recruit on campus.

LBS is Top 2 in Europe. Every company > 1,000 employees that hires MBAs recruits on campus.

I have a friend who is currently attending. OCR for certain geographical locations (e.g., Google APAC), happens right from the beginning of Term 1, Year 1.

I heard that some BB's in London don't do MBA recruiting anymore, at all.
