Topic Name: Recruiters for Big4 - rumor?
Message Name: THis should be an isolated issue!!!

In Reply To: I was talking with a friend of mine. We're both studying accounting. My friends brother has been at PwC for a few years, and related the following: Male recruiters will interview many students for internships. Sometimes they will think a female student is "hot" or something, and offers them the internship over more qualified applicants. Then, these guys get the benefit of having a "hot" new friend in their office for the summer. The goal is then to hang out with the girl. Also, the example I was told about involved a married recruiter. Has anyone noticed this? Is this a problem, or an isolated thing?
Message: I'm a recruiter for one of the "big 4" not PWC and that is not ethical or a practice within the HR arena....
