I think Dentons put recruitment on hold for now.

I just got a reply and they said that we should hear back by the end of the month.

No after my direct TC app

I also did a direct TC app - sorry what I meant was this after a stage in the process? I’ve done a telephone interview and had a message back to say that things were on hold.

Sent app end January, then did WG in Feb, telephone interview in March then had email after the telephone interview to say all on hold.

Hmm I think that was in mid February, then WG in mid March, and Telephone Interview in mid April judging by this pattern they should get back to me again in mid May hahaha

Anyone else applied to BLM? They have started sending out emails giving an update on direct TC apps, they are currently screening and everyone should get an answer in the next few weeks.

Hey, I was just on their Instagram live featuring their grad rec, Sam. I asked her about this and she said they're currently screening applications and that we shouldn't be worried if we haven't heard anything yet. They're still getting back to people
Best of luck!
