Wow, that's nasty and I didn't even know it was possible either. Sorry to hear this@Jessica Booker have you ever had experience of a firm recalling offers after they’ve made them as they’ve decided to continue to do acs? I didn’t even know it was possible, it’s just happened to me and luckily it wasn’t the firm I was going to accept but it’s very cheeky, apparently I’ll still be considered after the new acs
I have never done this, and I haven't heard of it being done.@Jessica Booker have you ever had experience of a firm recalling offers after they’ve made them as they’ve decided to continue to do acs?

It was an email sent with an written offer, I emailed to respond and was told they’d decided to run more acs so their final decision was no longer final until after the new acsI have never done this, and I haven't heard of it being done.
I suspect it is down to a human error unfortunately. Did they send you full written offers or was it just a verbal offer you received?
There is a possibility that they have decided to hire fewer vac schemers than they originally planned. They could easily be in the middle of budget planning for the next financial year and have been told to make some cuts, and therefore all of a sudden need to make fewer vacation scheme hires.It was an email sent with an written offer, I emailed to respond and was told they’d decided to run more acs so their final decision was no longer final until after the new acs
Thanks for rationalising that Jessica, I really appreciate itThere is a possibility that they have decided to hire fewer vac schemers than they originally planned.

Or it could just be poor recruitment/pipeline management.
I'll be frank - something like this is pretty rubbish and I would expect the firm to deal with it better than they have, but at the same time I can understand why it might have happened and it may not even be the recruitment team's fault.
Excellent point @S87! Both are great approaches which have been tried and tested; I just think there is a slightly different cultural attitude in the US which is manifesting itself in the way US firms recruit here. I recommend candidates apply to a mixture of both UK and US firms and working out which approach seems to suit them betterI strongly agree with you, I have attended various events and what I realised is that US firms really valued my background and maturity.
I believe that Americans in general value candidates who are not afraid to explore other things, while UK firms are more inclined to target young students. I do not know what's best, personally I know I want to become a litigator but also experience a bit of corporate, hence US firms are better for me.
Would this look badly on me in any way though?If this is post-assessment centre, give them a call.
