Just finished the HSFK test, got moderate fit in all and high fit for one. Praying I've passed the benchmark lol!

Guys I just saw this on my portal for DLA piper: ‘Thank you for working with us during our recruitment process. We are enjoying getting to know you’.
What does this mean? I wonder if this is a pfo in disguise

Mine just updated to that straight after they emailed I passed to TI so I wouldn’t read too much into that

Woah, I haven’t got a TI invite email at all, does this mean I got a TI invite?

Has anyone got a Reed Smith AC recently? I’ve been waiting for a month now post test, wondering if I should just assume PFO 😭

Hello!

I wouldn't assume a rejection based on the timeframe - I waited over a month in between completing my Reed Smith online assessment and receiving an assessment centre invite! There are various factors that go in to when invites are sent out, and the application window is still open - for the time being, I would take no news as good news
