[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 232610, member: 43563"] [USER=39235]@sadlawyer01[/USER] from my experience in graduate recruitment, this is my understanding of how the process usually goes: [B]During VI Stage[/B] VIs are typically screened by external assessors who work with the test providers such as Cappfinity or Amberjack - and they’re then marked and sent back to the firm in question. So during your VI the written application isn’t considered as they may not have access, and it simply isn’t required to mark your exercise. [B]Following VI Stage [/B] It really depends on how the firm is approaching shortlisting. 1. If they’ve manually screened your applications before inviting to a VI then they probably won’t refer back to it, unless they’re stuck on selecting candidates based off a very competitive VI outcome and then need to look back at the application form to decide which one they’re going to invite to the next stage. 2. If however, they haven’t manually screened the applications and simply invited everyone that fulfilled the criteria to the VI stage, then they will definitely look at the applications before deciding who to invite to the next stage.
