TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I attended Proskauer’s assessment day recently. It was an interesting experience, the structure and level of pre-assessment information were quite different from what I had expected. Defo a reminder of how varied recruitment processes can be across firms :/
Well, onto the next I guess

Hi, would love to know the type of assessments given e.g group tasks, case studies etc

I got weakness adaptability (I can't get my head around why, this is one of the reasons I have applied to HL lol how dynamic they are and thought - wrongly I imagine - my answeres were aligned with this), innovation and work ethics as strenghts. I imagine I will get a big fat rejection? I am so confsued by this result.

If you get 10/10 for everything, then 9/10 for adaptability (it's not out of 10 I'm just making a numerical example), the feedback report will put adaptability as your weaknesses even if you got a near perfect score. The feedback report is almost meaningless in terms of rejection, as it isn't giving you raw scores (like amberjack), but rather just giving you relative information.

HELP!! Ive just done the IM written exercise and im unsure its been uploaded. Ive submitted it and everything but it allows me to go back on the link and do the assessment again I think- there is no confirmation that I have completed it. It was on cappfinity. Is this normal???? Im panicking ahhhpls help

I had the same exact thing but I guess it is just how the system works. How did your exercise go?

I don't think so, rather automatic for reaching a % threshold on the WG / SJT
