The deadline was July 31st; the recruiters told all of us at the Legal Cheek event a fortnight ago that we should have had our results ages ago but they would aim for September 8th, yet there is still nothing.I get the frustration of not hearing, but sometimes firms just don’t have an update for you.
It’s not about disrespect to the candidate, it is just that there isn’t a message to give. I’ve lost count how many times I would have liked to have updated candidates but I wasn’t in a position where I could.
I'm just calling a spade a spade because it is very disrespectful. They're playing in our faces. Especially because it's not like they are individualising the responses, it's an automated rejection or progression which requires no more than a keyboard button push.
