I talked with an EY recruiter yesterday who asked for a copy of my most recent performance review, is that normal or a standard practice as part of the interview process?

I joined EY as an experienced hire and was never asked. Maybe it was because I never said I was highly rated. It's funny that they ask because it would be pretty easy to doctor if you know what you're doing.

Interesting. If specific client engagements are mentioned within, do you black those names out but leave the rest?

EY asked the same of me. Not that our annual review is very beneficial - provides no stats on how someone actually performs, just where RSM feel the worker fits into the 5 core soft skills of the firm.

Not normal, but I was hired from industry into PA

EY asked for mine. Just standard to make sure you aren’t saying you’re a top performer when you’re actually on PIP. That said, they didn’t ask for a specific review, just one that was recent, so you know I grabbed the best one I had that made me out to be a superstar They had no issue with me redacting client names or other items that were firm/client specific before sending over.

Please don't keep saying it's standard when there are clear deviances based on other responses including mine. My guess is there's probably a recruiter template of what to ask for, and a performance review is probably 'recommended but not required'.

They only asked for my yearly review/overall rating- are client names listed in that?

I offered when switching firms, but they said no thanks. They preferred references

I had to share my reviews internally when transferring to TAS

Get the car fax! You’re just a cog.

Also an indicative range of CTC I should ask for will be helpful. Currently I'm underpaid at 20.1L as I worked in the same company for 12 years.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
