Just received the Gateley interactive assessment. Whew Chile, they want so much from us 😂

Congrats! Which office is this for? And when did you complete the VI?

London office. I got the voice interview on 22 January but I was given an extension deadline so I submitted 29 January! Got the AC today xx

Gateley VI/tests!

 

[Lawgirl123]

Also i submitted a VI to W&C on saturday 13th Feb - haven't heard back. Is it a PFO?

Did anyone else think the Gateley email was spam, it didn't have their name anywhere until the very end 🤣 I very nearly "junk"ed it...

 

[GK8997]

Would you guys advise against following up with a firm after an AC?😫

Is this because you haven't heard back for a while or because you want feedback?

For those with an invite to Gateley's assessment - there is a practice run which doesn't seem too bad!

Yep! I was looking to see if there was another email with it to say "you're through to the next stage" but nope.

Hi guys, does anyone have any advice for video interview round with grad team at BCLP for Summer VS?
This is literally my last shot before having to go back to my home country so I’d greatly appreciate your help!! 😭

What was the numerical reasoning practice like? I did law to get away from maths

 

[Legal_Hawk]

Received the Gateley VI/interactive test!

Just got this too. I was wondering whether this is a live video interview? Or is it one of those automated one-way interviews?

Anyone not heard back from W&C post app for spring? Presuming PFO but just wondered.

Okay nvm, glad I didn't apply. Best of luck, troops

It's the part I'm also struggling with.

Here's a taster:

(Note: this is a practice question which everyone who received the VI has access to)

----
We recently completed a survey to learn more about our employees’ personalities. We received 284 responses, with the attached results.

Openness	Conscientiousness	Extraversion	Agreeableness	Neuroticism
Curious	73%	Organised	94%	Energetic	45%	Friendly	68%	Nervous	24%
Cautious	27%	Careless	6%	Reserved	55%	Challenging	32%	Confident	76%

Please can you let me know how many employees are categorised into Agreeableness (Friendly) and Openness (Cautious) together.

*The percentages are approx. values, so please round employee numbers to the nearest whole number.
