I just received an email back which said the following:

'Hello Tara,
Thank you for your email.
Candidates who have completed their video interview can expect to receive the outcome of their application via email no later than 12th February 2021.
Please continue to check your junk mail to ensure that you do not miss any correspondence from the Early Talent team.'

So I am afraid to say that we may still have a long wait ahead of us 😅 but at least we now have a deadline!!
thank you for doing this :)

    I emailed about AC dates a while back and they said this;

    “the London AC's during the first half of the month and the Birmingham AC's during the second half of the month.”
    (Meaning February)

    so, I guess, if London hasn’t heard back yet we probably haven’t made it onto the AC.
    Are you implying that they only hold one AC per office?

    No, I was thinking more about the practicality of people needing to book onto slots and perhaps take time off work.
    Their e-mail suggested ACs might be starting as soon as next Monday so I felt if we hadn’t been told by now it might not be good news.
    Firms famously don’t give much notice for ACs so I don’t think this is the case

    Odd that they have provided two different dates but maybe that was for the Birmingham office and London is the 12th due to more applicants?

    Either way I don't think we can make any assumptions and should just all remain positive. No news means we could still get good news :)

    As above it seems London hears first as their ACs are earlier and Birmingham will hear later

    I would also imagine Birmingham has more applicants as that is their head office and they have more spaces there?

    One of my friends has had an AC invite for February and she applied to Birmingham office. Not sure how they’re working this one out.
