Passed all the interview stages to be a Senior Consultant at Deloitte in October (Major Programmes) but was told to wait as they weren’t able to hire anyone yet. They call me every few weeks saying there’s no update but want to show they’re ‘still interested’ and are hoping by June they can start making offers. Anyone else in a similar position?

Yes. Exact same boat here. Completed all interviews in December and was told they are interested and going through the approvals now which will take a while. Seems like they are cleaning up house first, and taking stock of what projects are coming up before they extend an offer. Just patiently waiting but not holding my breath either.

Unfortunately no. I’m not too concerned though. It would probably be a pay cut for me heading to Deloitte.

Well June is the start of the Deloitte financial year in most countries so that makes sense

Did Deloitte have a RIF or just a hiring freeze?

Basically after everyone says yes we want to hire you typically we actually don’t/can’t bring you on board without a compelling business case (e.g. there needs to be a project that is about to start that we can put you on) - not sure if you are familiar with consulting but utilization (how much of your time we can bill to a client) is a key metric that matters here… so if we hire you but have no place to go it hurts everyone. Esp now that Deloitte is laying off people (those star bottom of our performance they say) because we have “too many” people and with fiscal years ending (aka clients having no more money until later) it is unlikely you will get an offer anytime soon…

Good answer, I had a similar experience, went through all the interviews including with the lead partner, and the recruiter said I have done well. However it may take a few weeks to put an offer on the table! He never said anything about hiring freeze but apparently there is one.

Did you got offer letter from Deloitte ? On the same boat. Cleared interviews 2 weeks back and waiting for offer letter. Why would they do interviews if they don’t have positions available?

2) A well constructed story/resume can offset any weak points in your experience
