Has anyone heard from SH or Bakers post app or are they both still hibernating until 2030…​

No Mate, Bakers is still going through with VS evaluations. Maybe we will hear back next week or early May

I wonder how KN grades their SJT, as the video pitch invites go out the day after the test is due... Am applying this year too and just noticed--good luck to both of us anyway!

Cappfinity (or their client, IDR) were sued for disability discrimination a few years ago - an autistic candidate was scored poorly and they were not offered an alternative process.

This case showed that Cappfinity have raw scores (e.g., 0-100%) that the firm can use to rank candidates, so it can easily be done with just the click of a button.

The candidate is fobbed off with some "top 3 areas of strength 1 area to improve" nonsense which is designed to hide the fact that they might have told the firm you are totally unemployable.

There are conflicting priorities - the candidate wants to perform well, but the firm wants the best candidates identified with as little effort as possible. These are essentially mutually incompatible

Just a PSA on Baker: they reopened the DTC apps till midnight today. Ig it’s because a lot of people (including me) faced tech issues and couldn’t submit the app earlier, so they’ll probs review apps next week. Stay strong folks!
