Yeah for example the generation easyjet at L3/CAE. You are "mentored" - on the companies radar, if you show good performance then there's a high chance you will get a job, but it's not guaranteed.
I can't speak about L3, but at CAE I do believe interviews are often carried out to non-mentored candidates during the final, advanced stage flying phase of the course.
I guess the lesson here is try hard whatever route you're on! If you're pilot material they'll find you. Hopefully.
