Emailed them late Feb and nothing. Was thinking maybe to email again but not sure

How did you find it? I found the case study tough. Feel like I made some mistakes in terms of ensuring the points were relevant.

I found the McQuaig test to be fine, but a bit unsure about how I did on the case study and video interview!

Anyone completed the Bakers WG? Is it like the Pearson WG?

Has anyone applied for a direct TC with Shoosmiths at their London office?

I applied for a direct TC with Shoosmiths - I did their psychometric test on Monday. From graduate recruitment’s email, it says that I should expect to receive the personalised report of my strengths a week after the test and they will be in touch separately about the outcome of my application no later than 6 pm on 12 June.

I applied to PMC’s TC last year and they rejected me a month after I applied

Okay, so I’m presuming they sent a rejection email?

Curious if anyone knows whether Howard Kennedy send out WG tests automatically or only if your app gets past first stage?

Have they got back to you post app?

Is BM wg invite automatic or do they review the app before sending the invite?

They review the app before sending.

Does anyone know if Hogan Lovells have a summer window for their direct TC?

Does anyone know if Hogan Lovells have a summer window for their direct TC?

I’m assuming that’s a yes?

Don't know if anyone has noticed but Latham & Watkins seem to have changed the Direct TC dates.

Before it opened in May and closed in July, but now it opens in July and closes in August.

Ah I see, I wonder why. I planned to apply.

Yes, they will open applications in June

I suspect it is to manage application numbers post SVS season - one downside of opening earlier in the summer is loads of people apply and then withdraw when they convert their VS or are successful in other direct TC processes.

I think they had their last direct TC AC today.

My friend just got an offer an hour ago.

Anyone find the link to apply to Simpson Thatcher? Thanks in advance!
