Deloitte Open House x linq: Bridging Talent and Opportunity

Consulting is at the core of the global business scene, with the Big Four investing in the industry’s potential to attract talent that drives real change. Recognizing the challenge of showcasing what a career in consulting truly offers, Deloitte teamed up with linq (ex. CollegeLink) to launch Deloitte Open House: Empowering Your Future to Create an #ImpactThatMatters! – an event designed to inspire and connect the next generation of consultants.

With 100+ attendees, 50+ speed interviews, and 7 immediate hires, the Deloitte Open House became the perfect gateway for young professionals to explore a field full of opportunities.

Despite the vast opportunities in consulting, many graduates hesitate to pursue this career path, often viewing the Big Four as “distant” and “traditional”. The lack of exposure to the day-to-day realities of consulting heightens uncertainty, discouraging potential candidates from considering its prospects. This gap makes talent attraction challenging in a sector with a growing demand for specialized professionals.

As a strategic partner, linq leveraged its expertise in the job market and its deep understanding of what today’s talent is looking for to bring the Deloitte Open House to life. This initiative was designed to “open the doors” to the world of consulting – inspiring young professionals and highlighting the opportunities that can truly make an #ImpactThatMatters.

Participants took part in interactive experiences such as mentoring sessions with senior executives and Deloitte’s CEO, project simulations, and speed interviews, gaining a clear understanding of the demands, challenges, and opportunities in consulting.

The Deloitte Open House proved to be a powerful tool for attracting and engaging talent, achieving outstanding success. With over 300 registrations, 100+ attendees, 50+ speed interviews, and 7 immediate hires within three weeks, the event successfully connected Deloitte with the next generation of professionals.

Participants from diverse academic backgrounds had the chance to explore the world of consulting through mentoring, networking, and interactive activities. Their experience went beyond theory, offering hands-on insights and directly linking them to the exciting opportunities that a consulting career has to offer.

Through its strategic collaboration with linq, Deloitte redefined the perception of consulting careers. The Deloitte Open House went beyond showcasing job opportunities, inspiring and equipping new consultants for success.

The event’s success goes beyond impressive numbers; it brought a fresh perspective on what it means to be a consultant. With linq’s support, Deloitte proved that the right strategic partnerships can make a real difference – combining innovation with meaningful connections between talent and opportunity.

“The Deloitte Open House was an excellent opportunity to connect with young talent and show them what consulting is really all about. In collaboration with linq, we created an experience that went beyond presentations, offering meaningful interactions and inspiration for participants. We discovered candidates with great potential and promising prospects, reinforcing the value of initiatives like this for our growth.”
