Examines the recruiting process of Bowles Hollowell Conner & Co (BHC), an investment banking firm known for its work with middle market companies.

Includes the resumes of 17 second-year HBS students who sought interviews for an associate position with BHC and raises the issue of how interview selections were made from those resumes.
