I was let go from B4 during a layoff in November 2024 during a segment wide layoff. I was upfront with recruiters on it making clear that it was a layoff and I was not fired. None of the dozen or so I spook with refused to work with me or seemed to scare them off. Sounds like a bad recruiter to me. In many cases recruiters use layoffs as an opportunity to fill positions with employers they are working with so there is definitely an incentive for them to work with as many people as they are able to
Find someone else
Layoffs have become extremely common in public accounting. Our firm just did a big speech on how we didnt have to worry about it because we were hiring while everyone else was doing lay offs and we wont do private equity. I was caught in layoffs and still was able to find a great job at CLA. Find a new recruiter or just reach out to the top 10 firms directly, they generally have their own recruiters
Last week we had a firm wide call and the senior partnet addressed the layoffs he just did as "layoffs are a healthy cleanup." LoL. taking out the trash i guess.
anyways, thats just a bad recruiter. find someone else.
Recruiters act as salespeople with you as the product. Some have a particular candidate profile they prefer to work within and you just fell outside of that profile. I would just move on and not take it personally.
