[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 33530, member: 2672"] I think it is also to manage candidates’ expectations. To be honest this is the easiest/cheapest/quickest/most efficient way to reduce applications compared to other methods. Selecting other methods like academics will have their own issues (mainly diversity related). If the firm knows that getting good talent in isn’t dependent on a high 2.1 or above, then it would be silly to add this criteria in and limit the quality of your talent pool. I think the issue here is that they probably don’t suffer from bad quality applicants and therefore making this decision doesn’t necessarily reduce the quality hired - it just limits the funnel at the top but the outcome is basically the same. Reducing applications could also help them retain high quality applicants who do apply - recruiters tend to lose good and diverse talent the slower their recruitment process is. [/QUOTE]
