[QUOTE="Novaa, post: 240106, member: 26320"] It’s actually crazy how firms assess candidates on what they think the biggest challenges facing the legal industry are, when one of those challenges is constantly discussed right here on this forum. Applicants are clearly yearning for change. There is a wider issue around transparency in recruitment that isn’t being addressed. Partners shouldn’t be telling us that a huge part of the process is “luck” while, at the same time, firms withhold information that could help applicants understand their chances such as whether grades or application quality were the issue, as you’ve mentioned. Especially when, in just the last week, there have been multiple posts questioning whether the following impact application outcomes: • Age • Neurodiversity • Grades • University choice [IMG alt="Bored Jennifer Lopez GIF"]https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTZhYjVjZjE1MzQwaDAxa3MwdWU2OGc3bndjZGx5dDhtaDY3MzVkZmFvNmVjMHN4NiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/Ttl6LeBT9LFEQ/200.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
