[QUOTE="ReedSmithBecca, post: 213915, member: 30879"] Hello, just to clarify, a 'rolling deadline' does not mean 'first come first served', it means that we review applications and may move candidates through the stages before the deadline, and do aim to review older submissions first where appropriate. We are a small team who review all applications and VIs in house and there are a number of factors which determine the order in which candidates are reviewed. We aim to be transparent in that we advertise that all candidates will review a response within one month of the deadline (which is what happened). I'm disappointed to read that you feel this "undermines the transparency in the process" or "shows a lack of consideration for applicants' time and effort", because we do actually put a great deal of time and energy into trying to be as transparent as possible and respecting the time applicants commit to the process. The commitment to transparency is part of our partnership with TCLA and responding to applicants here. Hopefully the above clarifies our approach. I'd also advise that if you have a specific question or concern, please feel free to email [EMAIL]earlycareers@reedsmith.com[/EMAIL] To answer questions more broadly, we are issuing AC invites in batches and have so far only issued one batch.
