Training Contract Start Dates

[Garrett]

Hello,

I'm currently finishing up a training contract application for a small-medium sized City firm that has two separate starting dates for their TCs: Sept 2021 & March 2021. Is it advantageous to choose one over the other? Does the firm split applicants into these two groups when assessing applications? If so, can you imagine one date being more popular than the other?

I'm assuming that they don't do this to prevent quality candidates from slipping through the cracks, but I'm hoping you may have some insight on this.

Cheers,

Garrett

They won’t split applications. The same benchmarks will be applied, one intake is not more competitive than the other.

It’s just there to speed up the offer process.
