🚨 ENOUGH WAITING — WAKE-UP CALL FOR OFF-CAMPUS CANDIDATES: Let's Mass Mail for Answers 🚨
For months, off-campus candidates have been told the same thing:
"Wait."
Wait for stream allocation.
Wait for training.
Wait for assessments.
Wait for results.
Wait for RT1.
Wait for RT2.
Wait for October 12.
And every time one milestone is completed, another waiting date appears.
At what point do we stop waiting and start asking legitimate questions?
Many of us received our Offer Letters around 7 months ago.
By November–December, a large number of off-campus candidates will be approaching ONE YEAR since entering this hiring process.
One year.
Think about that for a second.
An entire year of uncertainty.
An entire year of career plans being put on hold.
An entire year of answering relatives, friends, and parents who keep asking the same question:
"When is your joining?"
And the truth is... we don't know.
What makes the situation even harder to understand is that we are now seeing on-campus candidates receiving GearUp mails and DOJs of 11 December.
Congratulations to them. They earned it.
But naturally, this raises a question:
What is the status of the thousands of off-campus candidates who have completed every requirement asked of them?
We didn't disappear.
We didn't quit the process.
We completed training.
We completed assessments.
We received results.
We followed every instruction given to us.
Yet we still have no clear onboarding timeline.
This is no longer about impatience.
It's about transparency.
Nobody is asking Accenture to onboard everyone tomorrow.
Nobody is asking for special treatment.
We're asking for something much simpler:
A clear update.
Even a communication saying:
"Your profile is still under consideration. Expected onboarding window is X."
would be better than months of complete silence.
The most painful part is watching the goalposts move again and again.
Every few weeks a new date appears.
Every few weeks candidates convince themselves that "this is the date when everything will change."
And when nothing happens, another date replaces it.
How long can this continue?
Until January?
Until February?
Beyond one year?
Many candidates rejected or delayed other opportunities because they trusted this process.
Many have been sitting at home for months waiting for the onboarding that was expected long ago.
That is why this is a wake-up call for off-campus candidates.
Not to spread negativity.
Not to attack anyone.
Not to spam.
But to respectfully and professionally ask for clarity.
Because after 7 months of waiting and with some candidates nearing one full year in this hiring process, we deserve to know where we stand.
If enough candidates send polite emails requesting an onboarding update, at the very least it reminds the company that thousands of off-campus candidates are still waiting for communication.
Silence hasn't given us answers.
Maybe it's time we ask for them.
