Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information in the dataset provided about Moelis' current hiring standards or any perceived decline in their reputation. However, discussions from past threads indicate that Moelis has historically maintained a rigorous recruiting process, including structured interviews and a focus on top-tier candidates. For example, their 2019 Summer Analyst recruiting process involved interviews starting after return offers were given, with a fast-paced, informal process following that.

If you're noticing changes in their hiring practices, it could be worth exploring recent threads or reaching out to current employees or alumni for updated insights. You can also check out the WSO Company Database or forums for more detailed and recent discussions on Moelis' standing in the industry.
