Benefits of MCA Membership

Interested in joining the MCA?

Email us 
for more information.


Finding the right candidates for jobs seems to be increasingly difficult for consulting firms.  One of the benefits of MCA membership is a dedicated area on the website where members can advertise jobs, free of charge.  The MCA also offers careers advice through a careers guide (due to be published in October) and reduced rates for exhibiting at the Top-Consultant careers fair in October.  One MCA member has reported savings of £40k in recruitment through the use of the MCA network.

 

Candidates looking for jobs in consulting can search the MCA website for firms that meet their requirements (see Careers in Member Firms). Current opportunities with member firms can be found under the Appointments section of the website.

 

To find out if you are eligible to join the MCA and share a voice with the UK’s leading consulting firms, please email benefits@mca.org.uk  or telephone 020 7321 3990
