Techie claims Deloitte revoked job offer after he quit current role: 'Hurts more than a breakup'
The techie claimed that the company’s HR team refused to provide a clear reason behind the failed background verification.
A techie has alleged that Deloitte revoked his job offer shortly after he resigned from his existing company, because he failed the firm’s background verification process. Rajeev Anjana shared his experience in a video on Instagram, saying the development came as a shock as he had already put in his resignation at the previous company.
“It really hurts when you try your best, crack the Big 4, and finally get the offer, and then one morning, you see this,” he said, showing an email from Deloitte’s background investigation team. “It hits hard. Honestly, it hurts even more than a breakup. And I already resigned from my company, and my notice period has ended. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry,” he added.
In a follow-up video, Anjana claimed that the company’s HR team refused to provide a clear reason behind the failed background verification. He said that he reached out for clarification but was told that the details were confidential. “I don’t understand what’s confidential about it. I cleared the interview, I passed all the rounds. If I was informed what the problem is, I could have helped resolve it,” he said.
He also alleged that he was asked not to contact the HR team again and was informed that he had been “blacklisted,” making him ineligible to apply to the company in the future.
Speaking to HT.com, Anjana said, “I connected with the HR team, and they informed me that they are not moving forward with my employment due to discrepancies found in my previous experience. As a result, my offer has been revoked. Although I was given a joining date earlier, the offer was later withdrawn, and I have been informed that I am blacklisted.”

“A friend of mine cleared Deloitte's interviews 8 years ago but never received an offer. Today, he's thriving in one of India's top firms. Another friend of mine cleared Deloitte's interviews 9 years ago, waited 2 months for an offer that never came, and is now working at Microsoft. As for me, I cleared Deloitte's interviews twice and waited patiently for an offer that never arrived. I later on worked for a different Big 4 firm, and now working for a Big 3 firm. Trust me, your future is bright! Never give up! You’ll do really good,” one user wrote.
