"My suspicion is that it won't have a big impact [on recruiting] for someone like BCG. It's not as if they're a new player," said OCS Director William Wright-Swadel.
"We have a strong relationship with Harvard and we are going to maintain that relationship," Toyias said.
Wright-Swadel said the move was meant to ease the strain on students who may have had to travel far off campus to go to interviews and other company events.
Wright-Swadel added that the new policy is supposed to make the recruiting process more fair, giving firms the same access to students.
The policy change happened at the beginning of the last recruiting season but was not enforced until now.
"The people we are most concerned about are the students," Wright-Swadel said. "It becomes very complicated and time-consuming for students."
BCG Associate Recruiting Director Beth L. Perez, who chatted with seniors at a small informational session at Sandrine's Bistro in the Square last night, said the policy change "involves us creating enough additional avenues for students to contact us." She predicted the change would not greatly affect students.
