They recruited me very recently initially for tech strategy at the SM level. Spoke with one SM who realized I'd fit better in another part of the business. Met with second SM in that other part who then bounced me to a MD running the north american piece of that business for final interview and then got offer. The first interview had a quick random scenario I had to react to and provide feedback on but it was no problem at all.

Turned it down because the extra pay wasn't worth the extra hours and travel compared to what I have now, and because organizationally it was a lateral move at best.

It’s a hot market and we can’t hire fast enough. Imagine you got lucky as a result

The process starts by submitting your application. Your first round will be with HR for high level requirements, next you’ll meet a peer or expert in that kind if role and finally you will meet the hiring manager which might be the Managing Director of the practice. Not everyone, but the majority of people you interview with, have good bullshit detectors. We do it for a living and if you come across disingenuous in any way, you’ll likely be axed.

LOL accenture is an up or out company my friend. Everyone is nice, including myself but you have to be genuine. We lookout to help each other but if you lie to us then there is no way you’re helping us, yourself, or the client on delivery day. It’s just the nature of the work.

Thanks

I'm hiring and I've just learned that my HR department is screening candidates by asking them about very specific functions and frameworks.

"Can you describe your experience using Element#remove()?"

"Can you describe your experience migrating from X framework to Y framework?"

We don't use Y framework and have no plans to use Y framework in the foreseeable future. I also don't expect candidates to have all functions memorized. How on Earth did they find out about Y framework!? 🙄🫣
