The Accenture presentation at the Top-Consultant careers fair mentioned that they are only hiring graduates for 2010 start dates. That was back in October - can anyone confirm if this is still the case? Has anyone had a recent offer for a 2009 start?

It's true. All start groups are full during 2009, 2010 is the first date you can join. You can still apply anytime though...

The rumours range from 2010 to 2011 being the earliest date for graduates to join the company. The Accenture website, however, states that November 2009 is the earliest date - it was updated from January 2009 just a few days ago. Also, I am in the final round of the application process and the e-mail correspondence states November 2009 as the first available date to join. Oh well, who knows!

Just phoned a recruitment coordinator - the earliest date to join is January 2010.
