    DAC Beachcroft video interview

    Mines been like that even before they invited me to a VI so maybe its just not updated? If this is how they are sending rejections then its quite an awful way to treat applicants. Regardless of the circumstances its not that difficult to send an automated email.

    DAC Beachcroft video interview

    I doubt they would add another element to a process they are already struggling to keep up with. Adding an online test means inviting a higher number of people from the VI and then cutting that by comparing everyones scores. It is true that their HR staff are furloughed so maybe the GR team is...

    Alice was never the assistant, she is a direct hire from NRF. Like you mentioned Eleanor was on maternity leave last year as she said so at the university event and how she was getting back in the swing of things. Just to add; after emailing for feedback, I got an email this morning that I am...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey, no problem. I seem to suspect this is probably true as I know 8 people who did the AC and all got rejected, no one on this forum has heard good news either, so unless they had a huge AC it does seem strange indeed. I do think its unfair as so many people would have spent considerable time...

    DAC Beachcroft video interview

    Thinking a bit too much but, do you think that firms now may recruit those with GDL/LPC as it would be a sure fire way to save a lot of money? Considering it would really serve no disadvantages to the firm, it is something which only has advantages? Also would allow them alot more time to make...

    Considering the vacancy is for 2021 and 2022 they should be getting back to us before June/July. Reason being that they would still need to runs ACs and then 2021 applicants would need to be prepared to commence the LPC/GDL this September.

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Sorry to hear that. Just to relay some information (which may or may not be accurate) A friend of a friend (take this with a pinch of salt) who is an associate at the Birmingham office, mentioned that they may have rejected everyone as they are not keen on running a virtual scheme and August...

    I heard back yesterday, the email was actually about the training contract and how I cannot apply for one as I have been unsuccessful for the vacation scheme. Suppose thats one way to cut to the chase :D

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi @Jessica Booker I have a question regarding the LPC. If I was to leave my current provider (ULaw) and wait until I receive a TC to restart the LPC would I have to disclose this to the firm? I would not have sat any of the core exams (January start). In addition, do firms prefer candidates...
