Anybody know why you would be marked as “ineligible for rehire” at a Big 4? Trying to apply back to PwC but rejected because I’m “ineligible for rehire”. Left on good terms, had good reviews, and had a good relationship with my counselor.

I bet the counselor you had a good relationship with could help more than strangers on fishbowl.

The only people I can think of who aren’t eligible were those let go for “performance related issues”.

B4 heavily utilized that method of letting people go when Covid started, it dodged the publicity and spotlight of mass layoffs; however, the downside of using that method is people let go for performance issues aren’t eligible for rehire. Which caused recruitment problems when Covid started to ease because a large part of the talent pool is ineligible.

Maybe because you left for another Big4? Big4 tends to like boomerangs from industry, but not as much if you leave for a competitor.

Also are you just randomly applying online? Why not reach out directly to the partners you worked with previously?

What level are you? What level is the counselor? Unless the counsel is a partner I doubt their opinion means much

Did you owe them something when you left? Equipment, paying back a retention bonus, etc.?

Could be that it hasnt been long enough since you left

Doubt this. I left and returned to a B4 within 7 months and had no issues. Know a few others who did similar.

If you had a good relationship with RL then just each back out to them.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
