    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I absolutely see why they would like to test out some people before they hire them - especially when they’re so young with little experience or industry exposure. But having this as the only recruitment method is a big F U to a very large pool of candidates who cannot take 2-3 weeks off to do...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Its a fine route if its one* way of being recruited. If it is the only* way then I really wouldn’t agree. Being in full-time employment precludes many many people from doing a vac scheme. Taking 2-3 weeks off to do a paid internship with another employer may not fly over well with most*...

    imo such firms do not care that much about losing out on talent, as long as x amount of candidates tick x amount of boxes from this limited candidate pool. It’s a problem for older applicants because it limits the amount of firms they have access to apply to, and it especially is a problem for...

    Plenty of other industries offer jobs with intense and expensive training without having do to 2-3 week internships for them. And plenty of the people doing these vac schemes have a terrible attitude and teamworking skills which only come to light once they get the TC and actually start working...

    It tells me a lot about a firm’s culture (and attitude to trainees) if their only recruitment method is through a 2-3 week internships which is mostly aimed at 19-21 year olds.

    Ah I see, that’s genuinely a shame. For people in full-time work Im sure more Direct TC windows would be more appreciated…if anything the processes for entering this profession are only becoming more unfriendly towards mature applicants or grads (3+ week long vac schemes??) . In most other...

    Does anyone know if Freshfields have a spring/summer window for Direct TC apps? I feel like they did in previous years. I was going to apply for this winter cycle but with the new test (and if they have another cycle in the summer) may be better to wait and prepare a better app/practice for...

    How do people handle situations where you cant attend an AC day? Due to e.g. a pre-planned vacation that cannot be moved (plane and train tickets, hotels ect) Does GradRec usually accommodate requests to move an AC or is that likely to piss them off?

    Has anyone had any comms from HogLov at all? It's been shy of 3 months since their deadline, and over 3 months since most of us applied. From what I can see there are no PFOs OR invites to AC?
