Happy Monday! I cleared multiple rounds for a PM role and am currently in the team match phase. My recruiter left on maternity leave and handed over to another recruiter.

Should I be worried? Who do I talk to that can help move my candidacy?

Hi, can anyone confirm if its not possible to apply to multiple positions for multiple locations at Accenture. I applied long time back, no response on that application and also not letting me apply to other positions.

I have an interview for a job tomorrow but noticed this morning that the posting for the job was taken down from the company’s site (as well as on LinkedIn). Has anyone experienced this before? Doesn’t taking the posting down mean they’ve found someone for the job already?
