Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
It isn’t the marking that’s the issue, it’s the sending hundreds of bespoke emails that is the thing that would take an extraordinary amount of time, this would take more time than reading the application form.Understand your point. Unfortunately, grad rec conveniently say for the large amount of apps they get, they can’t give individual feedback. But what confuses me is if they read every app they get before the deadline like they say on their website, how is it that they don’t note down points to evaluate each app (which one progresses or gets rejected). Surely, you are making a decision on some sort of ‘CRITERIA’. As an applicant, even if grad rec shares that criteria on the basis of which they’ve made the decision, I suppose that would help to some extent. But the fact that they don’t have time to offer feedback but to read every app that reaches them, doesn’t sit right with me. Makes me think how do they actually evaluate candidates…
