Sorry to hear this, it’s 100% their loss! Did they send you an email?
Yeah it was an email. It baso said the following:
Dear Harvey,
Many thanks for taking the time to speak with us during your recent telephone interview.
After careful consideration, unfortunately we are not able to progress your application on this occasion.
As you may appreciate, we receive an exceptionally high number of applications each year for a limited number of positions and our recruitment process is highly competitive. Due to the volume of applications that we receive, we are unable to offer feedback at this stage.
We were impressed with your performance and would like to encourage you to re-apply in the next recruitment cycle.
May we take this opportunity to thank you for your time and interest in Akin, and to wish you every success with your future legal career.
Many thanks

Pardon my asking, but isn’t it usually a good sign if interviews run over time? Doesn’t it mean that they enjoy talking to the candidate?
I feel like if time had been an issue, they would have cut it short
Idk tbh cos I’ve seen someone post they also got an Akin PFO post TI and theirs was 50 mins. I also saw @Shiv Lawy mention they felt it was more of a box ticking thing than anything, which I’d also felt too. Perhaps the grad rec team are nice so they didn’t want to cut the TI short. Oh well.
