Anything from PMC? According to online sources there is no second stage and straight to AC if successful.

If this is true - may not hear back for a while yet

I haven't heard from them either but it is true that it is application and then straight to AC if successful

Withers interview invite! Does anyone have any insights/tips? It's for 1 hour with a member of HR and a Partner

Congratulations!! Is this for direct tc?

If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and give the test and please could you share what strengths and weakness you got on your feedback report?

Thank you very much and best of luck!!

So sorry to hear - did you just get the email?

Harbottle rejection post-interview just received, in case anyone still waiting to hear.

Also, is it the norm not to give feedback after an in-person interview?

80-85% of TCs go to VSers. They have 50 Training Contracts overall...

I think thats the case for most, besides the MCs. With mid-sized intakes they do tend to recruit from the 2-3 vac schemes they do and allocate the rest to DTC.
