How is everyone getting called up by recruiters and getting jobs within 1 week and I'm getting rejected by PwC after 1 day of applying through their website? Do we still need to attend networking events or swipe in recruiter's DMs on linkedin? teach me senpai

I heard hiring is slowing down at PwC right now due to influx of new grads and interns.

True

Recruiters are taking forever, they need to speed it up! They rely on auto email replies. There’s a war for talent.

I applied with referral man. I don't even know if the guy had time to input the referral prior to the rejection LOL

Is that the same case at KPMG?

Why would you want to go there?

Referrals/networking do go a long way. You’re far more likely to be hit with the instant reject when you’re just applying through a website than if you have a referral in the system and/or have already talked to a recruiter. I generally don’t bother applying to jobs unless I have one or both of those.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
