anyone else not receive the w&c captivate assessment. i’ve now received an email from their HR team saying that they can’t continue with my application as i haven’t done the online test…but i was never sent any online test?

was this something you had to do in portal without them letting you know?
it was in the application confirmation email, if u scroll down there's a link to it there saying u had to have completed it within 72 hrs

Okaaay, I’m really annoyed with myself for not converting that Linklaters AC last year, not even because of it being a MC TC but because I’ve just seen their new office….

has anyone else not heard from HSFK post SJT benchmark? this is getting really annoying. just send out the PFO, i hate this waiting, it just causes so much anxiety :(
yh im in the same boat💔im thinking we’ll hear back next monday if we’re getting rejected as it seems they always send out pfos on mondays. but i also know theyre still reviewing apps so they havent sent out all ACs yet

    Hi - could anybody who progressed past the assessment stage with Simmons indicate what pillar scores you got? I'm just curious, I feel like I did my best VI's, but I am thinking a lot about the quite low scores in the SJT... not that I can do anything about it.
