Just had 4 rds of interviews with Accenture Federal Services (AFS). Initial screening, 2 technical rds, and 1 confirming interview. Got a call from the recruiter today and they extended a contingent offer and said they’ll call me when they find a project to staff me on. Is that normal at AFS?

Wow. Accenture is de-risking itself by shifting the risk to the individual. Why didn’t I think of that.

Honestly a bad sign, that means they don’t have confidence something will open up anytime soon. Onboarding and training all takes time. My guess is they’re waiting for a contract win to happen and then they’ll reach out

Lmao so Accenture is building a bench without having to pay for it? insane lol

Basically. Lol

I told the recruiter that I have worked for firms where I come in on the bench and you have to wait for a little bit to get staff. Then I said or are you saying that I will be on like standby and once staffed then I would get a start date and official offer. She said the latter.
