Looking for advice from folks familiar with Deloitte. Ive been interviewing for a role to staff their current project with the client. I never saw a JD and I can’t understand who is hiring me - Deloitte or the client. Am I going to be a permanent or contract employee? I’ve gone through multiple interviews with the client now and no one ever brought up the conditions of employment, salary, etc. if you are familiar with what I’m describing, please shed some light on this situation. Thanks!

You should never had a conversation with a client before being hired. This seems very strange

We do some contract or contingent hires but those are all via staffing agencies

My only guess, which I think is what your saying is that the client is hiring you. Perhaps we passed your resume onto the client after screening for an open role on the clients team

If you've been interviewing with the client and not Deloitte, it sounds like the client is hiring you as either a FTE or a contractor.

It's uncle D who is hiring . They just wanna make sure the client approves as well for whatever reason . Uncle D doesn't do staffing .

“So glad to work here…who exactly is here though?”

Fwiw, this happened with me. After Deloitte wanted to hire me and I was thumbs-upped by the principal, I wasn’t officially offered the hire letter until I was signed off by the client. It was mostly communicated to me the hiring decision was fait accompli before the client interview.

Have heard if this client says no, for some odd reason, Deloitte will work behind the scenes to still hire and staff you elsewhere. However things might have changed now, so do your best.
