I was laid off from D last week but had already been in the process of interviewing at a new company. Am I required to tell the hiring manager and recruiter of this company the update that i was laid off or is it suggested that i wait until an offer is extended?

You don’t have to disclose it. Just don’t lie about it if asked. E.G.,

“Why are you leaving Deloitte?”

“Because it’s a pit of vipers!”

Just don’t lie. Good luck getting the job!

Yes. The right answer is ALWAYS I’m leaving because ~this is a better opportunity because a, b, c. You can stick with that. In fact, it’s still the truth.

Yeah, it’s totally kosher to stick to your original narrative. No one’s going to ask you if you got fired, lol. You’re already in the thick of the process.

The only thing I’ll say is that when they run a background check on you, they’ll see that employment was terminated on 7/2020 so that has the potential to raise a red flag. You might get a call from HR at new firm asking for an explanation and you can just tell them that yes, I indeed got laid off during the interview process. That’s it. You’ll be fine.

like

Accn1 - maybe but I don’t think so.

Deloitte let’s you claim the firm as your employer until your severance pay runs out. If you were laid off last week, you have till month end to still claim Deloitte as your employer. So no need to disclose anything.
