Ask the recruiter if they are hiring you for a specific project that you’ll start on immediately.

Ask them if there’s a specific project that they have in mind for you. It’s a fair question and I ask all the time when I interview

They’ll tell you if they do. It happened to me but ask a SM or partner, not HR

I disagree with every response on this thread.. Consulting as an entity isn’t laying people off across the board (despite the hysteria being caused by FB would suggest) - there are a select number of OPs that are reducing the workforce, likely due to a combination of factors (poor forecasting of pipelines, larger recruiting classes / lower departure rates, etc). There are several OPs which haven’t been mentioned in any lay-off posts.

As for asking the recruiter about a specific project... seriously? How could the recruiter know that? If you’re a strong candidate, you’ll make it through the interview. Deloitte isn’t going to hire you with the intention of firing you soon after (again, the folks who have experienced this recently likely were underutilized and aligned to an area that didn’t have enough work)
