I had a final round McK interview (Business Analyst) scheduled for January. Was just told by recruiter that the position got put on an indefinite hold due to the economy. Is this happening widespread in consulting / McK right now? Do any consultants think jobs will become vacant again in the new year?

I don't believe the recruiter actually said that.

Why would I make that up? They said I’m still a candidate once the position comes back- but no idea when that could be.

Recession incoming

Client budgets are drying up right now. With layoffs at many major tech clients, its indicative of fewer job opportunities at firms.

This is also frankly not uncommon to hear in this industry.

Not surprising. Likely gonna get pushed back into the spring.

There could be multiple reasons - e.g with McK in specific I had the same thing happen a few years back - might be they've filled out their BA "class" for this cycle & you are too late.

But if the recruiter is specifically telling you "due to the economy", maybe some truth to it.

What geo, op?

The entire process went on for a about a month. Experienced hire btw. Did the phone screen and then the first round case. Was successful on both and told I’d be going to final round in NYC. This was for the private equity group. Then got the news.

Yes, some European offices at Deloitte are also slowing down recruiting due to the upcoming recession.
