I was able to skip so I’d refresh and or try another device if possible?Are you guys having problems with the WFW application? The portal states that I need to complete the postgraduate session, however, I did not attend a master's or any other postgraduate class. I usually skip it and complete the GDL and LPC sections.
hey well done!! thank you, sounds good ! how long did it take you if you don't mind me asking?Hey, I’ve just done it. It’s mainly scenario based questions where you say what you would be most/least likely to do. There are also quite a few maths questions, I found some of these kinda hard but it’s untimed which takes the pressure off. Then a long answer written question at the end which is pretty straightforward
The use of generative AI in recruitment is a particularly hot topic amongst candidates and recruitment teams alike. What are your views on candidates using generative AI in recruitment processes? Is it cheating, or being resourceful? Does it level the playing field, or make it harder for some? There is no right or wrong answer to this question (yet!), but we are interested to hear your opinions on this topic.
How would you guys approach this question? Personally, I believe that these tools can help candidates articulate their experiences and skills more effectively, ensuring that their applications are reflective of their true capabilities and potential. Especially for individuals who may struggle with expressing themselves in writing or face barriers due to various factors such as neurodiversity, AI can level the playing field, providing an opportunity to present themselves in the best light. This doesn't necessarily equate to cheating, provided the candidates are honest about their experiences, their skills and the role AI played in their application.
I know they say there is no right or wrong answer, but I'm aware that many firms are strongly against the use of AI in this context. Given this situation, how should I approach this issue? Should I voice my true opinion, or align with the more commonly held view against AI usage in job applications?
I also recognise that recruitment processes are designed not just to know a candidate's experiences and skills, but also test their communication skills. And AI-generated responses can obscure this quality.
@Jessica Booker , I would be interested in knowing your opinion. Thank you!
Thank you, I tried using Safari and Chrome but it keeps showing "The minimum number of items required is 1"I was able to skip so I’d refresh and or try another device if possible?
@Jessica Booker, do you think I can add a section by stating N/A?Are you guys having problems with the WFW application? The portal states that I need to complete the postgraduate session, however, I did not attend a master's or any other postgraduate class. I usually skip it and complete the GDL and LPC sections.
Anyone else still not received a WG for HL or Freshfields? I did apply to London office on the deadline so I’m hoping it’s just taking time to filter through to me rather than bad news 🫠
I don’t think you are expected to take a particular position on this. It is more about how you position your thinking and evidence your analysis, rather than which side you think on.The use of generative AI in recruitment is a particularly hot topic amongst candidates and recruitment teams alike.
