Has anyone heard from Withers? They say they start reviewing a month before the deadline closes and I’ve not heard anything yet haha
I received the online assessment invite on 16th Jan and applied on 12th Jan. I'm not sure if it's automatic or not :)) but the email says 'you've been successful in getting through to the next stage'

Thank you and good luck for the assessment! You applied a couple of days before me so here’s hoping to some news in the next couple days 🙏
