Hi, I guess this has been asked before but I couldn't find the info myself. What firms only recruit from TC's or just have a non-conventional approach to TC recruitment?

May I ask you what do you mean by non-conventional approach?

If you refer to firms heavily hiring from direct TC, then I would say US firms. However, bear in mind that they have small intakes.
For what concerns UK firms, I would say that Slaughter and FF hire also from direct TC.

Has anyone heard back from SPB post VI? Seems like they are taking quite a long time to send AC's

I would add all of the MC to the list of UK firms, they all hire a reasonable proportion at least from direct TC and CC no longer do a vac scheme, it is a first year scheme or direct TC only.

I would say the most non-conventional approach would be those that only do an online tests application only such as Linklaters, however that seems to be catching on at more firms... not my personal favourite application style but notably quicker!

Anyone had a MoFo VS offer yet? Did my second round interview 4 weeks ago today

Anyone heard from BLM post-app?

No and it’s been a while now too!

Waiting to hear back from an AC and just had a call from trainee Rec… only for it to be another firm asking about ECs. Still have chest pain from the stress 😅😅😅

Hi! I had my interview last week and they told me that I should hear back by the end of February as they are still interviewing people. As they do not have a lot of places on their vac scheme, they are probably waiting for everyone to finish their interviews and then make the decision?

I’ve only seen one person get a london ac for addleshaw. Has anyone else had them? I did my VI 5 weeks ago

Same, only seen one person from here. I haven't heard and did my VI 3 weeks ago! Please let me know if you hear from them and I will too. I wish you all the best and hope we will make it together to the next steps
