The 7 Categories We Score

Our scoring categories are based on how MBB recruiters actually evaluate resumes during the 6-second initial screen and the deeper read that follows.

1. Impact Evidence (30 points). Do your bullets contain specific, quantified outcomes? Revenue numbers, cost savings, team sizes, and percentage improvements are what get a resume past the first screen. This category carries the most weight because it is the single biggest differentiator between resumes that get interviews and resumes that do not.

2. Bullet Architecture (20 points). Each bullet should follow an Action-Context-Result structure. Start with a strong verb, establish the scope of the work, and end with a measurable outcome. Consulting firms expect this pattern because it mirrors how consultants communicate with clients.

3. Problem-Solving Signal (15 points). Consulting is about solving problems. Your resume should show evidence that you identified issues, designed solutions, and drove decisions — not just executed assigned tasks.

4. Leadership and Ownership (15 points). Did you lead or participate? "Directed a 12-person team" signals ownership. "Assisted with project management" signals a supporting role. MBB firms hire people who drive outcomes.

5. Trajectory and Selectivity (10 points). Career progression, promotions, competitive awards, and selective program admissions signal that other organizations have already vetted you.

6. Consulting Relevance (5 points). Is your experience framed in language that consulting recruiters understand? Industry jargon from your current field needs to be translated into business outcomes.

7. Formatting and Detail (5 points). Clean layout, consistent structure, appropriate length (one page for most candidates), and no formatting errors. Small details matter when recruiters see hundreds of resumes per day.
