TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Sunshinepink]

Hi all! I'm in the process of making a table of each firm's recruitment process. I'd love if people could share their knowledge on the recruitment processes they are familiar with and let me know if I have any incorrect information in the table (hoping this can be useful to future aspiring solicitors).

Hey, looking at this; someone replied to my comment saying that Addleshaw Goddard had their AC's last week but from your table was the AC last week for the training contract ONLY applications?

 

[Sunshinepink]

It’s for London and I got the AC invite at the start of this week

Hi, was this for the training contract only or the vacation scheme/training contract?

Hey, it was for the VS/TC. I know they are planning more though so don't worry too much

 

[Sunshinepink]

Addleshaw have sent out ACs and I didn’t get one just another VI that I didn’t pass sigh

When did you get invited to do the VI and for branch was this for please?

 

[lawapplicant]

I wasn’t told anything or emailed at all, was it for the vacation scheme/Training Contract or just training contract? Is it normal to not hear anything back at all?

It was for Vacation scheme application. There may be more ACs to be held, I’ve no idea. If they haven’t sent you a VI by now then I would assume rejection icl.

Yeah, you have a point. I completed a VI for a different firm like at the start of January but i only realized this website was a thing like an hour ago (thank goodness) so i'm really thinking now. Do they not usually send an email to say when someone has been unsuccessful, i got that from a different firm this week.

Yes they will do so eventually.

I have spoken to the recruiter previously, she gave me some tips in terms of work experience so i will send her an email to see what's happening. Will remain positive because you never know but thank you!

Hi! I applied around 8th Dec and then got the VI around 8 days later I think - I think for others it was around the same timeline

 

[Seabird15]

Does anyone have any Cleary AC advice plssssss xx

 

[Denver]

Has anyone been able to get a response from Linklaters' grad team? I emailed over a week ago regarding my WG test score and haven't heard anything back.

With Addleshaw, they said rejections all at once, once they have finished recruiting for their VS. That’s what I remember from a few years ago. They definitely don’t reject as they read apps

vacation scheme/ training contract

Was it Leeds by any chance?
