DAC Beachcroft AC outcome

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had an AC for DAC Beachcroft and whether you have heard back? I had mine last week and I'm unsure whether to drop them an email to ask when they'll be making a decision. I will need to take time off work if I would be doing the vac scheme and it seems they are doing everything at very short notice.

Thank you,
Silvia

    I think you should wait another week or two (if you can) instead of chasing them. It's only been a week since you've done it, many firms require more time to make decisions. It may be that they're still conducting ACs and therefore still assessing candidates?

    Yeah I would tend to say a week is too little time to send a chaser unless they told you that you'd hear back much sooner. If they didn't give you a deadline, and you haven't heard back after a fortnight, I would maybe begin to consider it but even then that's not a lot of time, especially at the moment as the 'pingdemic' is causing utter havoc in firms. If they've given you a deadline, I'd tend to wait 3-5 days after that deadline before sending a chaser.
