I'm here and our process took forever.

We had a recent candidate that we all loved, take 6 months. We only got him bc his brother was here. EY is on the whole, terrible at this.

Deloitte processed me end-to-end in 30 days

They need metrics.
First contact -days to second contact - days to schedule phone interviews-days to in person - days to offer, etc.

Each step needs clear ownership and targets with a goal of onboarding a new candidate for day 1, in less than 60 days for manager and below.

This isn't that difficult. Then we need to overhaul training and staffing.

ACP should be destroyed and rolled into competency / sector. There needs to be ownership and accountability from the go-to-market partners for their people and their utilization / performance. This doesn't really exist today.

Had a bad experience as well. Clear expectations were set for my role in every interview including initial interview with hr. Offer was something different. Turned it down and would never work there based on the experience

EY is bad but PWC was also terrible.

A counselee interviewed and they told him they would extend an offer when the role opened up. Don't execute an interview process if you don't have a position.

Deloitte and McKinsey had the best process that I went through

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Hello fishes,

I have cleared the interview round and the documents submission step is also completed on May 25th.
