Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
They could be piloting the assessment to see if it creates any correlation to other assessments and therefore see if it is a predictive tool to use in future cycles.
No, I can confirm. Was invited to AC last year and the WG was also attached to the AC invite. On the feedback call, they said the same but I think they've changed their process to use WG to filter candidates now. (rip me)
To contribute to the Cleary discussion, I'm 99% sure it's part of the process now because I was sent one not too long after applying. Not sure if it's a "filter" with a concrete benchmark though.
On that note, do candidates get penalised for not filling out the Rare survey? I didn't grow up in the UK so almost all of the questions are inapplicable (eg. school meals, postcode, etc), but they do not have a "prefer not to say" option. I usually opt out because the answers I would necessarily have to supply would not be reflective of my circumstances in any way, but is this a bad thing?
Do they ask people to complete the test before the deadline? Or do we get a certain number of days to complete it, regardless of when we submit the application?
It's three days from the date of the invite! I assume that'll be the same in any case because the test isn't automatically sent out (i.e. you might receive it after the application deadline in the first place)
I received an interview invite despite having no formal interactions with the firm.
last year i got 34/40 and got it
The assessment is untimed but we have 2 mins for each video interview question.
I am also really curious about this. Does it impact you if you don't complete this section (Rare context). I sometimes don't because I feel I don't tick the boxes per se (i.e. didn't have free school meals, not a carer at a young age etc).
