Who We Are

Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.

To succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark change. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures—and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization, generating results that allow our clients to thrive.

What You’ll Do

The EMESA region unites over 10,000 BCGers from 40+ countries and all business units, organized in eight geographic systems.

As part of our regional sourcing hub your role will be to identify and engage talent for our consulting team for our offices in EMESA (mainly across LAB).

Working in close collaboration with local recruitment teams, regional practice area recruiters and the sponsor MDP. For each role, you will identify high quality potential talent, proactively outreach and run the initial candidate assessments to ensure strong and diverse pipelines.

Our team is focused on finding very specific/niche profiles that are rare in the market. This demands both, a high level of resiliency as well as curiosity to understand complex business concepts to identify candidates beyond keywords-search, and to become sparring partners to your stakeholders.

  • Talent Mapping & Pipeline Development: Contribute to strategic talent mapping initiatives to build and maintain robust talent pipelines aligned with BCG’s future hiring needs, with a focus on increasing diversity across candidate pools.
  • Sourcing Projects & Continuous Improvement: Support and lead sourcing-related initiatives, including the adoption of new tools and technologies, optimisation of processes, and delivery of talent insights and analysis.

YOU BRING (EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS)

  • 1-3 years of talent sourcing experience and/or Head-Hunting experience would be an advantage.
  • Capacity to identify and assess candidates’ background/experience
  • Strong drive for both success and excellence, self-starter with strong sense for responsibility

Tech overview
Technology sits at the heart of BCG’s strategy and delivery. The firm operates through several specialised units, including BCG Platinion, which focuses on technology architecture and IT transformations, BCG GAMMA, which leads on advanced analytics and data science, and BCG X, which drives digital product design and business building. Together, these groups allow BCG to support clients across the full spectrum of digital strategy, from advisory and operating model transformation through to hands-on engineering and implementation. BCG has placed a particular emphasis on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven platforms. These capabilities are applied not only in client work but also internally, with the majority of BCG employees now actively using AI tools in their daily work. The firm encourages experimentation, internal tool development, and the use of generative AI to accelerate workflows. For technology professionals, BCG offers the chance to combine strategic influence with technical execution, bridging the gap between boardroom decisions and real-world digital solutions.
