How Firms Actually Choose Who Gets a Training Contract

Most candidates never see what happens after they leave the room. The scoring, the conversations, the reasons one strong candidate gets an offer and another doesn’t. Join us for a session with Mark Dubes, a former legal graduate recruiter with over 20 years' experience who has interviewed more than 10,000 candidates, including at Mayer Brown. Mark will walk through the full decision-making process from the recruiter's side, including how applications are reviewed, how assessment centre performance is scored, what happens in debrief meetings, and how final offers are actually made.
