In April, Keith Bevans was appointed global head of consultant recruiting at Bain & Company. Bevans, a Chicago-based partner in the firm's Global Performance Improvement Practice, will continue to advise clients while taking on his new role serving Bain's 50 offices and their talent pipelines. He will lead the overall strategic development and implementation of the firm's consultant recruiting initiatives, identifying and hiring talented candidates from the world's top business schools. "Recruiting individuals with extraordinary talent and business insight is essential to Bain, our culture and the clients we serve," says Bevans. "A career at Bain is unlike one you will find at any other strategy consulting firm." Bevans, who joined Bain & Company in 1996, sat down recently with Consulting to discuss his new role.
