KPMG promised me phone interview, never got one..

What's going on fellas,

My friend who got full-time offer at KPMG Audit talked to his recruiter and had me email her my resume and tell her my interest in advisory at kpmg

Recruiter never responded, however, weeks later another recruiter told me she's going to set me up with a 1/2 hour phone interview and asked for availability

gave her my availability - no response or confirmation no phone call

followed up again and she asked for availability one more time. again, gave her my availability - no response or confirmation no phone call

followed up saying i never got the phone call again.. no response whatsoever

Initial email was almost a month ago... whats going on.. what do I do? Is it too late since it's already been a month?

Facts:
Junior at Non-target school
did not apply for the position online or in any way at all
they don't recruit at my school for advisory
networked to get the interview

I considered KPMG advisory, and they are flaky in HR. I don't think it's personal, and depending on the group there are definitely ebbs and flows in hiring.

I don't think it's unreasonable to follow up with a call or voicemail, or a final message, although I wouldn't count on it if they don't respond back. But recruiters/HR folks in the Big 4 are sometimes discombobulated (a clusterfuck) so don't get discouraged.

I had a similar experience with KPMG. I think their HR department is just disorganized. Also when i went for an office visit I again got the impression they are disorganized, especially more so than their Big 4 competitors. Honestly as a junior I would look into finance internships rather than accounting. I know Wells Fargo has a great summer internship program and they tend to care more about the individual than the school you attend. Just start contacting recruiters and stay on top of it and good things will come your way.
