Why We’re a Great Place to Work

We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the world’s best places to work. We are currently the top‑ranked consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list and have earned the #1 overall spot a record seven times. Extraordinary teams are at the heart of our business strategy, but these don’t happen by chance. They require intentional focus on bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, perspectives, and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hire people with exceptional talent and create an environment in which every individual can thrive professionally and personally.

Where You’ll Fit Within the Team

As a member of the Texas HR team, the HR Specialist, along with their manager, acts as an HR Business Partner for General Consultant cohorts in the Dallas office. The role also supports employee processes and programs for consulting staff across Austin, Houston, and Dallas. The programs are key pieces of Bain’s employee value proposition, so customer service, attention to detail, and strong communication are critical. The HR Specialist collaborates with the broader Texas HR & Program Management team, Centers of Excellence, HR Operations, and office leadership. Bain’s offices operate on a hybrid model: during onboarding and training the individual will be in the office four days a week; once trained, the expectation is a minimum of three days a week in the office, as determined by the supervisor.

• Oversee the departure process for Dallas office staff and support Austin and Houston as needed; share policies and conduct exit interviews.
• Partner with AC and Consultant Recruiting teams and HR to serve as onboarding expert for incoming ACs, ACIs, Consultants, and Summer Associates; keep employee records current, coordinate logistics for new‑hire training (Pre‑ACT), and collect work‑authorization documentation for e‑Verify processing.
