Do Kirkland & Ellis Interview everyone?

[Kola]

I just received an online interview invite for Kirkland & Ellis' 2021 vacation scheme. Looking back at my application, it was terrible. I have been rejected by firms where I have submitted far better applications. I was wondering if Kirkland, therefore, interview everyone (or almost everyone) for their vacation schemes, and then look at the application form with the interview holistically?

Well that depends - is it a video interview, or a face to face with grad rec interview?

Highly unlikely - they just saw something in your application

I thought Kirkland & Ellis recruit on a non-rolling basis. How have video interviews been sent out already? Grad rec told me they do no recruit on a rolling basis in an event I attended this application cycle.

I am late to this round, but i think everyone get a video interview cos I got mine sent after 2 hours of my application being sent. has anyone heard back for assessment centres?
