T2 FT Recruiting Landscape
Pretty much the title. I know EY-P hasn't been doing FT recruiting lately but are there any other T2s that will also not be doing FT recruiting?

bump. I did hear they’re all not doing ft recruiting though…. specifically talking about OW
Yep OW won't recruit FT for summer/fall 2025 start dates, not unless they get closer to that period and need more people in the incoming class, at which point experienced hires is likely
OP here. I'm actually a bit more interested in FT recruiting for the class of 2026. I know it's early but I want to figure out which firms I even have a shot at for next year
Only way to know is to talk to people involved in recruiting at each firm. This far out you will get no definitive answers tho.
The last two years LEK has done FT but OW, S&, and EYP have only taken interns. From a macro lense, M&A activity is projected to pick back up once FTC chair is replaced so definitely improves the outlook for the T2 DD heavy shops (LEK, EYP). Pure speculation but I think all these firms will be running FT recruiting next summer as general mood improves around corporations spending money again, rates going down, taxes being cut, etc....
Echoing others but seems like class of '26 should be back to normal. Demand side has been addressed in other comments. Here's the supply side:
There was a slowdown around 2023, causing most firms to take smaller classes. The firms that didn't slim class size had trouble starting new hires on time. Additionally, because there were less exit opportunities, to maintain the same turnover (or even increase turnover to lower headcount), firms had to council out at a higher rate. Some firms didn't do this, and as a result, new hire pipelines backed up (delayed start dates). By '26 the new hire pipelines will be back to normal, and given business conditions continue, I'd imagine everyone will be hiring.
