[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 120426, member: 2672"] There are many positives of a smaller intake, including the chances of securing a NQ role upon qualification being higher. A smaller intake is not necessarily a bad thing. You could assume it’s because client demand is down, but it could also be where they have offloaded admin responsibility through outsourced/offshore/inshore methods, or through the use of technology. It could also be that more people are being retained upon qualification and staying with the firm, rather than losing 10-20% of people because they don’t meet the standard or because they jump ship to another firm. It could also be due to the SQE - maybe they are looking to allow more people to qualify internally through alternative methods to a training contract. As individual teams can effectively employee their own trainees too (there is no need for centralised graduate recruitment any more), then it could be that some departments are not looking to take rotational trainees but are hiring their own people too. If I had the opportunity to network with the firm, it would be reasonable to ask why numbers have been reduced. [/QUOTE]
