Recruiting on a rolling basis can lead to offers being made before all applications are reviewed. This is how it has worked at many of the firms I have worked for or with that do rolling recruitment.I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. It was also one of my top firms, and am really disappointed tbh. Dyu think its aa rejection and we are just being ignored? It seems ridiculous to me to make offers for vac schemes before looking at all applications. @Jessica Booker would it be possible for you to explain this recruitment process? Thank you
For those who applied early and have not heard back, it can be that your application is effectively on hold while they review other applications - some firms do not reject some candidates outright but will hold their application and see what the remaining quality of applicants are before deciding. However, not hearing back from a rolling firm can also be down to human/technical errors - candidates sometimes miss email correspondence, recruiters can mistakenly process applications without sending email notifications. Therefore it maybe worthwhile following up with firms that are rolling recruitment but that you have not heard back from in sometime to get an update on the status of your application (assuming you cannot check the system yourself for this update).
