Below are some consulting firms to consider even though they may not necessarily recruit on-campus. Our suggestion is that candidates should start a spreadsheet, visit all company websites and take notes on their culture and the type of people they hire. They usually say as much right there. Candidates should also track important deadlines such as deadline for online application and networking events because they may not visit all schools.
