I am currently recruiting for SA 27 and WF and Gugg were a couple of my top firms, with multiple referrals at each (did HV for WF when app came out about a month ago). Have seen kids get offers at both. I’m wondering if I should just be patient coming from Non target or move onto different firms? Can anyone shed light on the processes for non targets at these firms?

Non-target here who recruited WF. Did HV in January, and had my RD1 and SD in March.
At Gugg high-priority non-targets have already been given r1s, just be patient as the process goes on
