Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
have you heard back since you completed the test?I got an email from K&L Gates last week with a test.
was this DLA Dubai?has no one heard from CMS dubai about the AC?
Had a pleasant experience at a DLA AC last week, really nice people
Do you think the fact that they don't have a cap on the number of trainees they recruit might have an impact?I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I saw someone say the other day that they recruited a tiny amount through the direct route? As in 90% come through the VS?
In regard to the OP's question, I would guess those figures are roughly right? Although maybe slightly less at the VI/AC stage?
If we’re talking about HSF and the case study interview, I’m pretty sure I had the same bad experience with the same Partner (it was a male Disputes Partner).I know exactly who you are talking about. I had the same Partner during my Winter AC :/
Potentially? From what I’ve read on here, it looks like they recruit predominantly from the VS, so if they have a year where everyone on the schemes are excellent and pretty much fill all the spaces, there’s less need to recruit as many directly.Do you think the fact that they don't have a cap on the number of trainees they recruit might have an impact?
It was him :/ Were you also told there was no need to pretend he is a client?If we’re talking about HSF and the case study interview, I’m pretty sure I had the same bad experience with the same Partner (it was a male Disputes Partner).
If 4 people have had the same bad experience with one interviewer, unless it’s designed to be that one and they’re incredibly harsh, that seems off to me.
It was a shame as the other two who interviewed me were really friendly, but it was impossible to gain any sort of rapport was him. Could definitely tell he rated himself highly (and rightly so), but it was a little uncomfortable.
I think you should email and ask! I applied on the deadline and I received a VI invite on 1/2I haven't received a VI that's why I was wondering if they'd sent everything out already
I love that for us!Same here for my winter AC :/ Performed the worst on that interview
In the same boat, unsure what to do. The 29/02 deadline looks more official but also feels risky to go with the later one...Anyone else’s confused about Baker McKenzie’s video interview deadline? First email said 29/02 but I just received an email saying to complete before 26/02
Yep, right at the start 😂It was him :/ Were you also told there was no need to pretend he is a client?
Hey, I am about to give the VI, and this is my first VI ever. Could you tell me what were the questions like?Yes I just did, is this the next stage? The website says there is an SJT so I am a bit confused
I have had about 7 emails from Bakers since being first invited to the VI, I'm going to go with the later date, as it says that on more of the emails, and the most recent.Anyone else’s confused about Baker McKenzie’s video interview deadline?

I wouldn’t worry about this. If you tell your referee that you are providing their details anyway, this isn’t really an issue. If there was a delay in them sending the reference, the person doing the checks would follow up with you to see if an alternative reference would be provided.In the referee section, is it okay to not grant permission to contact the referees directly? I am afraid that they might miss the email/phone call and want to contact them first.
