TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

I think it shows updated today because you got your WGT Report yesterday and cleared that stage.

Oh that makes, thanks!

I applied on Dec 5 and received my report on Dec 8. That's insanely fast when they only closed the deadline last Thursday and then there are AC invites today already, with weekends in the middle.

Everyone will soon hear back from them as they plan to get back to everyone by the 22nd of this month.

Can I apply to A&O tomorrow? They close their apps on the 15th but say you need 48 hours to do the tests to ensure they’re completed before the deadline so I’m a bit confused. Are the tests sent automatically after you submit?

I am submitting mine tonight also just checking the final bit then the application is ready to go as I don't know about this also. Maybe email; graduate recruitment about this.

in response to a few posts, I've heard nothing from bakers, NRF, W&C or HSF (after passing benchmark) for spring schemes

 

[S87]

For those who applied to A&O, did you find a section where to explain your country education system?

 

[AvniD]

Makes perfect sense, thank you!

Not a problem! Let me know how you get on!

Yeah me too! I haven’t heard back from Bakers yet? Have you received the Watson glaser?

 

[BM99]

Has anyone heard back from Weil for WG test invites?

How many, out of 3000 applicants, do you reckon get invited to CMS Video interview?

3K applicants what.

3K applicants what.

CMS recruit 95 trainees across 4 major UK cities - I am actually surprised it is only that many.

CMS receives around 3000 applications per year. Out of those 3000, how many do reckon progress to at least the Video Interview stage?

Interesting statistic. I thought CMS has around 5,000 applications per year. I know a campus ambassador who mentioned it is around 200-300 that move onto the video interview stage. Also bearing in mind quite a lot are shifted out post watson glaser!

But I do not know how much go onto the assessment centre. I think it differs between offices as @Jessica Booker mentioned CMS is known for recruiting for 4 UK cities! I know London holds more assessment centres.

I reckon somewhere between 1000-1500

If they are hiring 95 trainees a year, I suspect it is higher than 300 being invited to the video interview stage.

I'd expect it to be about 300 being successful after the video interview stage given their hiring numbers and number of other stages (assessment centre and vacation scheme).

Really some CMS ambassador said to me it’s around 200-300? No idea where they got their statistic from

I see that explains it then I don't know much about CMS so thought it was only their London office.

That makes much more sense! Thanks for this @Jessica Booker

(VERY!) Approximate calculations from my perspective:

3000 applicants
1500 video interviews
300 assessment centres
150 vacation scheme offers
120 vacation scheme students
95 training contract offers
