That's not coaching it's cheating
Was there an internal interview conducted prior to the client interview to gauge skills and experience? I’m wondering why the client was involved without properly vetting the potential resource first
Lol at the people who think some of us have time to read 60+ comments in 1 thread
A6 So it's cool to assign blame based on a gut hunch first impression without taking the time to understand the relevant information, but still ding this guy for (what you think is) not doing his homework. Got it. 😑
MD and SMs on the account are investigating, giving the candidate the benefit of the doubt. MD is pissed at the client for jumping to conclusions with no proof, and if the candidate was indeed being fraudulent, let's just say he won't be working here much longer. Will update what happens.
@A5 has a point. @OP, Would be interested to find out what happens next.
What is level 9? Is that like Scientology or something?
OP how did the client point it out? Did he call him out on the spot? Did you cut the interview short? Did the guy realize he was caught?
Sounds like a resource planning issue. If they don't know what they are talking about how can they possibly deliver value.
Just don’t staff them and move on
Without a doubt, raise it to EP, RM and whoever the person's manager is. EP needs to know that the relationship was damaged. Their manager needs to be told so they can investigate what was going on and to potentially discipline the person and whoever the whispering person was.
Oops!
1. Fact of the matter is you have no proof, just conjecture...
2. How’s it going Andrew?
One of the client reps present has had this happen a lot to him and pointed it out as coaching very soon into the interview.
OP was it an international trying to cop H1b or was it a citizen just tryna fake it till he made it?
Dejavu. I have seen the same thing happen when I was in Accenture. But I was at offshore and the interview was for an onshore role. It's so unethical and I knew that but didn't say anything as I thought this is how its done.
KPMG2, can you define RP and RM? We don't use those acronyms that I'm aware of. I'm guessing executive partner and resource manager?
I will be honest this happens more than I would like to admit. We have interviewed several candidates on our program that made it through initial HR/Resource screening only to realize 2 minutes into the meeting that the person was completely unqualified a waste of time and resources. HR and MDs were more interested in revenue/fee than a suitable candidate who would be seen as a trusted advisor
1, always interview them yourself before you let the client meet them. 2, you should have intervened as soon as you noticed what was going on. The client will have more sympathy if they realize that you got scammed too, as opposed to you sitting idle while someone else in your company tries to scam them.
I’d absolutely escalate. Id think a lot of damage to your brand, your project, and frankly whoever this resource eventually gets dumped on.
Yes, sometimes that’s how the staffing interviewing works. Usually for staff aug, CD&O, operations kind of stuff. Never had to do that for my “real” MC/Strategy projects. ACN could be a shitshow. I should leave
Should've done what Serena did
