Had a verbal offer with EY in late March, right before hiring freeze. Recruiter was responsive to check-ins up until early June, saying I was on the list to reach out to once things start moving. She’s been ghosting me over the past few months.
Q - Is it appropriate for me to connect with a senior manager who interviewed me on LinkedIn in order to maintain some sort of contact? If so, should I let them know that I’m still interested in any opportunities?

Are you sure the recruiter still works at EY? EY isn’t doing great in terms of hiring - we are selling projects and getting by somehow but in general hiring isn’t happening right now unless you’re being hired for a very specific skill set. Also I don’t think contact with a random SM is going to help you imo unless you’re being specifically recruited for the project they are on

Yes she still works there, have a friend who checked her Skype status lol - and yeah fair enough, figured it may be helpful for reaching back out in the future. Thanks for your input!

I am sure they cannot hire right now. Or they do not want you, or both. Connect with whoever you want on LinkedIn. Worst that can happen is they ignore you.

Also agree to reach out to someone who interviewed you. Worst case they ignore you too but who cares at that point.

If she said you're on the list for once things start moving, I think that's still true.

Very little is moving here.

In the same situation. Recruiter says they are just waiting on things to open up before being able to make formal offers.
