Is there a hiring freeze at EY? I've been applying for Manager positions at EY for months (3rd Yr Consultant at Deloitte. Embarrassing to mention how massively overqualified I am). I always get past the initial HireVue questionnaire but never through to an actual interview.

There may have been 8 apps, 6 HireVue survey invitations, and maybe 3 outright rejections after being contacted for further information.

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if a hiring freeze is going on.

When applying to roles, do not apply to more than two roles within six months. Consulting had a hiring freeze a few months ago, and the starting date for EY-P analysts was pushed to Jan. 2025. With lower inflation rates and lower debt costs forecasted, I’m predicting higher activity and revenue in consulting. Be patient and reach out to current employees on LinkedIn.

Did you ever hear back?

What type of questions have the hire vue been? Can you prepare your answers ahead of time? This way you can tailor them more.
