A recruiter sent my resume to A&M and they ignored them. I have 3 years FDD experience at a top national firm and am a CPA. The recruiters feedback to me was that they really prefer people with Big 4 experience. Should I reach out to one of A&M's recruiters directly? 2 of them added me on linkedin in the last few months. Also considering doing a stint at Big 4 for the resume boost.

Oh, I thought A&M doesn't allow using external recruiters.

Yeah, I would just reach out to the internal A&M recruiters directly and/or people at A&M in TAS. I was connected to an internal recruiter and the interview process by reaching out to people on LinkedIn.

Reach out to the internal recruiters directly. I don’t believe we are actively using outside recruiters, so they may just be blowing smoke.

A&M 90% of the time only hires ex big 4. Yes there are instances where you see other firms/backgrounds but honestly, just look at everyone’s profile at A&M their from big 4. More likely than not they will pick someone from big 4 over you.
