I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments in May 2025
Interview
LinkedIn recruiter reached out, asked basic questions, forwarded to another senior recruiter and scheduled a phone interview. Was told they are delaying hiring right now until summer due to the markets upfront. Got an email the same day saying I’m being considered. Got another email the next morning saying I’m no longer under consideration.
Why won't they call back? Because they never intended to hire in the first place.
A little insider tip: 99% of companies are on a hiring freeze right now.
You might be wondering why they're still doing interviews if they're on a hiring freeze, it's because these hiring managers are just filling their calendars with pointless meetings to pass the time and pretend like they're working.
To Anyone else being contacted, it seems you're being used as a pawn in some managers game of time wasting.
The initial phone interview felt incredibly rushed. Despite the position being marketed as a wealth management role, it is essentially a high-volume asset-retention phone center. The day-to-day focus is simply convincing clients not to transfer their money out of the firm rather than providing actual, comprehensive wealth management or tailored financial planning services. Very misleading job description.
