BDB Pitmans 2nd stage AC

[MP96]

Hello! I've received an invitation to attend a 2nd stage assessment centre at BDB Pitmans for their London office. If anyone has been in a similar position previously I'd be grateful for any advice on the basic structure of the day and how would be best to prepare. Thanks in advance!

 

[MP96]

Hi, well done!! I've been invited too so following for any advice!

Well done to you too!

Hi Rachael and MP96 congratulations to the both of you. I too have just received my invite to the 2nd stage AC at BDB Pitmans and so I'm in the same boat as both of you.

 

[MP96]

Has anyone attended their 2nd stage assessment centre yet? Would be interested to know how many people were in each session…

 

[MP96]

I did mine last week and there were five people there in total

Thanks! How did you find the day? Were the assessments as you expected?

 

[MP96]

Have you heard back yet? If not I expect it will be Monday

Two of the assessment centres (including mine) got moved to the 1st and 2nd of August due to train strikes so I expect no one will hear back until the end of next week probably. I'll ask about timeframes on Tuesday!

Hi MP96 Were you able to hear anything regarding timeframes?

Hi Kenomy

I received an email yesterday that we would receive the results by cob today, but I have not received anything so far.

Hi Kenomy

I received an email yesterday that we would receive the results by cob today, but I have not received anything so far.

Hello Daniel, I received the same email and haven't heard anything either. I thought it a bit strange that they could give us the results today when they are still holding assessment centres. I was hoping that someone who had their assessment today would have more up to date information

 

[MP96]

Hi everyone, I had my assessment centre this morning and they said that they would get back to everyone today (latest tomorrow). I received a call this evening with an offer! Hopefully some good news will be heading your way soon

Yes, congrats to everyone who was successful! I still haven't heard back- I know it will be a rejection but I wonder why they haven't sent them out yet! I presume everyone they're offering a TC to will have been notified by now

Don’t lose hope! We may hear this evening as the offer(s) above was yesterday evening fingers crossed it isn’t a rejection

Still radio silence for me unfortunately! Has anyone else heard back from them?

Same here. I was told we would hear back this morning at the latest.

It seems that they have only notifed the successful candidates. It would be nice to get an update so that we can finally confirm.

Me too. Maybe it’s just taking longer than they anticipated? Upon re-reading this thread, only 1 person has confirmed an offer out of 11 places.

Hoping for some communication today for us all to put us out of our misery!

Sorry to hear that Kenomy- thank you for the update. I am so confused as to why they haven't sent out all the rejection emails in one go. I think I'll try emailing them and hopefully will get some clarity soon!
