I applied to PwC’s Workforce Transformation group for their SA position as a campus hire almost a month ago but I haven’t heard back. Any insight on the process? I applied outside of my school but got a referral from a partner (just a recommendation email to the recruiting team since campus hires don’t follow the traditional referral path), so I feel like that should help my case. For added reference I do have work experience, 2-3 years, so I’m a grad student.

Thanks all!PwC

So… you applied for a Senior Associate role as a campus hire? Do you have any experience?

Indeed, about 3 years of experience industry experience. Confirmed with the recruiter the route I should follow, so wasn’t purely a shot in the dark.

Are you in grad school? I don’t think anyone hires senior associates out of undergrad, that would be extremely unusual

Hey! I have very little insight into today’s recruiting programme, things have changed a lot since I applied 5 years ago. But I am a WM grad and love seeing applicants from the Tribe! A few questions for you:
- is there a reason that you didn’t apply via the WM career center? They are super organised about how they handle campus hiring there
- is there a reason that you applied as a SA vs A? Campus hires are typically considered A level.

Added in above, but yes, grad student in analytics, work experience is in the space of recruiting and human capital. (Apologies trying to directly reply but it’s not letting me/not sure how)

@pwc2 school was really on directly hiring for Transfer pricing and CMAAS, so recruiter told me to apply to an SA role given my years of experience/being a grad student, even though it’s a bit tangential.

Are you an MBA candidate? We only hire into Senior Associate roles from MBA!

I’m an MBA candidate. Can I dm? Got a couple questions I’d like to ask

Okay, so I recommend reaching out to the recruiter that you’ve been working with to get an update. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is that much weight of a partner recommendation email tbh.

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
