It seems like a really quick turn around from benchmark to rejection, I wonder if they reviewed the applications. I must say I applied on the deadline day so wasn’t very hopeful!

HSF was non-rolling this year! Must of skimmed through each

 

[JoNo]

Does anyone have an idea when hsf will start to conduct ACs?

I’m assuming not now because Christmas is next week, may hear back in January

 

[ANM]

Has anyone heard anything for Spring/Summer?

Hey, at an event I attended with them graduate recruitment said we wouldn't hear about ACs until January.

Hey guys, sorry to hear about the rejections - was this from not meeting the benchmark or at the app review stage?

 

[NikkiT]

Has anyone heard back today from HSF?

 

[Nomes24]

Also been rejected, post application review. Really disappointed as they were my favourite firm and I think my strongest/most authentic application... no clue where I fell down. I had passed the test benchmark by the way. Don’t know what to do now

It will be a blessing in disguise don’t worry! I’m sure this will mean you find a firm you’re more suited to. Don’t give up hope on your other applications!

Me too friend, don’t worry brush yourself off and carry on.. a better firm will give you a TC offer soon I’m sure! All the best

Has anyone who has applied for the Summer vac scheme heard yet? As far as I am aware only people who have applied for the Spring vac scheme have heard.

I haven't heard anything for the summer scheme, I guess they might be processing all of spring before we hear?

So sorry to hear! Can i ask when you applied and when you received these emails? Wishing you the best of luck in your other applications

I've applied for Spring and still haven't heard back.. may be a PFO also. I'm not sure if they're processing Summer yet

Hi, I applied on the deadline day! So I think they are looking through all apps now who have reached the benchmark

That’s probably a good sign

 

[Natalie Black]

Got a rejection a few hours ago for the Spring Scheme after tests etc

 

[Dheepa]

HSF is truly one of the toughest firms to get an AC and even their online test can be super hit or miss with most people. Hope everyone manages to just take some time off from apps these next few days. I know it always took me days to recover from rejections from firms I really liked but I always believed and still do believe its only a matter of time before a firm that sees your value comes along. Sending all my love and support guys, rejections just means there's better waiting out there for you!

 

[Helpme12345]

Has anyone who applied for the spring scheme not heard back either way?
