Depends on which location your at? But in general, interviewing off season which meaning, there's no superday or what not does not mean you have no competition. Its just more spaced out. The day you interview, even though there may be nobody else there, they prob interviewed other days. Also, even during the conventional process, where there's a lot of people. I know, EY at ny been trying to play catchup. My friend just got hired couple weeks ago, but as experience hire.

I am waiting to hear back from my 1st interview at EY.  The person who interviewed me is looking to fill 4 to 6 positions  and he interviewed 8 people (including myself).  He told me that I am on the top half of his list so I hope that I will make the cut.  My interview was last Thursday so I am hoping to hear back from them soon.
