2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

[thelegalsieve]

If it's helpful - my rejected application for the Freshers Meet Freshfields 2018 event was updated in January 2021, so I really don't think you guys need to be too concerned about when the portal was updated.

Considering the deadline is 7th, its non-rolling, are you sure that's not just the day you submitted it?

Yes it is my point was just that they haven't reviewed all apps yet probably

Similar thing here. My rejected application for a direct TC from last year was updated on 2nd Nov 2020. Which was the same day I submitted my application this year. Weirdly, the portal has replaced my rejected app from last year with my new app from this year so it now looks like I’ve submitted identical applications this year and last year.

ditto for me my old app was 'updated' on the 7th jan but my new one was updated on the 21st jan? it's a very weird app portal imo and best not to read anything into it

Just received my results from Mayer Brown and I got below average and average results.... Should I expect a PFO? Really disappointed tbh, this was the one I put the most effort into

nah I have a friend who got 5 below averages last year and still got a telephone interview. They review your application in conjunction with your test results so I'm certain you still have a pretty decent shot at an interview if you've done a good one.

Nope. I have not heard back yet. You like me asking what you applied for and what your remak

In light of the above FF's portal updates discussion, I think we can all agree that Taleo is a work of Satan.

Oh most definitely - it’s horrible from a recruiter’s perspective too if that helps

Are they locked into a contract? Can they not change to a different system?

these systems are not just used for graduate recruitment in the U.K., they are typically used for all hiring globally.

Graduate recruitment is not like normal recruitment, so the systems are not really designed for the quirks we have. Which is why both recruiters and candidates have to put up with it!

Ahhh makes sense!
