Hi, please has anyone heard back from Freshfields post application for a TC?

I haven't either! I submitted my deadline a fair few days before the deadline as well but not a peep - no VI invitation either. I think someone here mentioned that we should hear back from them sometime before the end of February though. :)

Just got a VI invite from Bristows for those who were waiting to hear back from them :)

I did too! The email makes it seem that applications aren't screened yet, did you get that impression too?

Same here! I think applications are screened. I saw this on their website "All application forms are reviewed by our graduate recruitment team and a selection of applicants then are put forward for a short video interview". Best of luck with your interviews :)

After completing the HSF online assessment did they send a confirmation email? And how long did they take to email the results?
Hi there, HSF do not send a confirmation email to confirm you have completed the test. One way to check if you've completed the test is to click the test link again - it should say something along the lines of 'no assessment outstanding'. I heard back a week or so after I completed the test, it was only an email to say 'you've reached the benchmark and your application is under review'. It does not tell you your test result/score. Hope this helps!

That's perfect! Thank you so much - was mildly panicking as all others had sent a confirmation email/replied within 24hours

Cleary Gottlieb VS offer!! I am totally shocked as I felt that I messed up with the group exercise completely.
Amazing news well done!! Goes to show how difficult assessment centres can be to gauge. Wishing you all the very best with the VS!! :)
