KPMG Takes Subtle Approach Wooing Anyone Interested in a Job at Ernst & Young

Recruiting for the talent amongst the Big 4 is competitive. This is known. What isn’t widely known are all the tactics in this competitive game of catch the accountant. In the past, we have seen direct solicitation by an E&Y recruiter which may be an effective method but it may be too abrasive for many within in the business who value propriety over the win-at-all-costs attitude.

Now comes news of a more subtle approach from KPMG, courtesy of an E&Y tipster who was searching for the firm’s career website:

While searching for the link to my firm’s career website I stumbled upon a pretty awesome ad (in a “ohhhh no you didn’t!” sort of way).


Since we’re fairly unfamiliar (read: completely unfamiliar) with Google’s method to the madness, we can only speculate how this little link found its way to the very top of Google search of “ey careers” but it does say “Ad,” so make of it what you will. Anyhoo, just for fun, we did our own quick Google Search of “ey careers” and got this:

So, it’s in the margin for us as opposed at the very top. But it’s still prominently placed on the search page and it’s also pretty hilarious that the hyperlink, “Ernst & Young Opportunities” goes directly to a KPMG URL (yes, it’s clearly disclosed by the Jobs.KPMGCareers.com at the bottom but who pays attention to that?). Perhaps our tendency to make mountains out of molehills is getting the best of us here but at the very least, this is an exciting twist on Sneaky Pete Piet.

  1. EY those guys are weak. Chipman69 would wipe up the floor at TJ Maxx with them, after he stole their women. H

  3. Do a story on how they only care about staff who are not Office Services and anyone else who are required to be in the office full time. Everyone else are shown concern for Covid & Omicron. Obviously every other employees lives are more important and told by leadership they have the choice to work from home or in the office. The message is clearly promoting flexibility for anyone not in the groups listed above. I’m lucky to not be apart of this group. However, I still don’t think those people should be treated any less. But the Covid-19 Updates sent to everyone in the firm clearly say’s they don’t care and they are less worthy. To say anything different than I’m sorry and we were wrong is plain wrong and violates the firm’s own code of conduct supposedly for all employee’s and Partners. However, most know this is not true. The managers of these groups don’t even follow the same guidance forced upon these people in the office.
