PwC sees opportunity to poach staff during EY split
PwC is seeking to poach staff from its Big Four rival EY and capitalise on “disruption” and “uncertainty” caused by EY’s decision to split its accounting and consultancy arms.
Bob Moritz, PwC’s global chair, told the Financial Times he was expecting to be able to lure senior managers and even some partners as the firm pursues a big expansion in headcount.
Hiring opportunities had picked up, he said, since EY provided partners with more details of its split. “Now you’ve got some basics outlined you’re starting to see a little pick-up in that area. People now see one side or the other and [ask] ‘is that the organisation I want to be part of?’ and ‘is that the culture I want to be part of?’”
