CCG Team / Members and For Clients pages list executive board, associate directors, consultants, and analysts by class year and note that CCG will be hiring new analysts Fall 2026 with info coming soon. Clients page names strategy, marketing, analytics, operations, and execution as value areas, states project teams of 4-6 consultants over a typical 8-12 week academic semester (with some year-long projects), and frames client work from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 corporations. That Fall 2026 hiring note was still displayed on 2026-10-23, after the semester-start recruitment the Applicants page describes, so treat it as stale and confirm the live analyst window on club channels.

General guidance
The guidance below holds for competitive consulting and finance clubs as a category. Confirm dates and steps on the club's own page or with its officers before you rely on them.
- Competitive clubs at most schools recruit once or twice a year, usually early in the fall and sometimes again in the spring. The window is short and often announced only on club channels, so join the mailing lists in your first weeks on campus.
- Club applications usually ask for a resume and short written answers, and interviews usually pair a behavioral conversation with a short case or a market sizing question. Treat it as a first recruiting cycle, because it is one.
- If your school has no consulting or finance club with a real application process, project based experience carries the same weight: student consulting groups, investment funds, case competitions, and research roles.
- Confirm every date and step on the club's own page or with its officers. This dossier adds school specific facts only when an official source supports them.
