Nope they don't. Referrals are the best way to get a call from the recruiter.

Referrals are the biggest waste of time for all involved

Yes we do, especially if you are not a target school

*we don't without referral

Seconded - Accenture only recruits from specific universities in the USA. If you don't go to one of those universities, you need a referral, from an MD, to get in the pool. This method contributes a lot to Accenture's diversity problem. Although now that we're doing more and more experienced hires, it's getting better.

A2 we don't have a diversity problem on the intake, where we have one starts to manifest at manager and above due to attrition,

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
