Linklaters 2019/20 Application

[Maddie R]

Not at all. They are not recruiting on a rolling basis. As I just mentioned above, they aren't getting back to anyone until after the deadline.

Oh right, must've missed that! Thanks

Hey guys - would you say its fairly late to submit an app for Linklaters winter VS? The deadline is this Monday so I was considering applying for spring instead?

It’s always worth a shot all the time applications are open, whether it’s rolling or not. For any firms that do rolling recruitment and fill early, you can always ask to transfer to a different scheme

Did anyone find out their Watson Glaser Test result after completing that part of the assessment? I did not - will we find it out?

Do you mean that I can apply for spring scheme and ask the firm to transfer to summer scheme?

 

[Jessica Booker]

1) if you are eligible for the later scheme
2) if you are told they are not taking any candidates forward as they have filled roles earlier than expected

Yes, you can email them and ask for your report where it details your score. They won't reveal the benchmark, that will now be decided after today's deadline.

Has anyone done the WG yet?

Is it normal for the application to be “on hold”? Also, did anyone get a report back for their “Agile Mindset” test?

Yes & Yes. It's called the Assessment Development Report.

Well it’s a relief since I am on hold now. How long did it take you to receive the report? The reason I am slightly worried about the hold is that it told me there was some interruption that should be reviewed, even though I did the test in one go.

The deadline for the Winter Vac Scheme was yesterday so they will have only just started looking at the applications.

I did my application the day it came out, I think, 11/09/2019. I then received the feedback report within 24 hours.

That’s commitment! Thanks for the answers, and wish you the best in your application

Very normal

 

[FutureCity]

Very normal

Thank you Jessica

Do we know when Links will get back to those who applied for the winter vacation scheme?

My best guess.....any time after the deadline (14/10) and before the Winter Vac Scheme takes place!

So wait because I’m confused. Having an application on hold implies that the WG & their new test has been passed and now they’re reviewing the app, or this term is basically a synonym for “under review”? Thanks guys

 

[Ayah]

It’s just a synonym for “under review” because my status was updated to on hold right after I completed the WG

 

[Matt_96]

What do you guys think the next step is? Will they invite us to write something now or straight to interview? The new system seems weird. A big change from last year at least.

 

[jamescw1994]

It looks like they’ll ask some for some additional information before interview or maybe to coincide with it.

It is all a little in the air to say the least!
