IBM placement year 2023

Hi, I recently applied for a placement with IBM, and was told I was successful in the AC, so I have been placed in matching. I was wondering if anyone had heard anything back yet, as I know it can take a while? Also, does anyone know how likely it is to actually get matched with a role once youve made it this far? i am worried i wont get matched!

I passed the AC early October and got sent some roles end of November, it can take a while but they will get back to you and send you some possible roles which you can look at then decide if you want to be considered for

Hi , I have received the roles and asked whether it's my interest. I did my AC in first week of October aswell. Can I know which placement you applied for ?
Mine was the business and finance placement, so the role I’ve been matched to is a financial/ commercial analyst role. I have another offer for a similar position from GE which I have to respond to by tomorrow so I think I might take that if they don’t offer me the role by then.
Did you finish your final interview with the manager for the role ?

So I had a call with the HR officer for the role which went well, then I had a call with the current placement student who’s role I will be taking which also went well so I’m not sure what’s next
Hope you get a reply from them soon. And did you choose this role when you received the job outline email ?

Ye I had a call with the current placement student nobody else was present it was just me and them. Literally just a chat about what they did and I just asked them all the questions I wanted to know about their job. Pretty sure it’s just to make sure you want to do that role yourself more than a test from them so just ask stuff you want to know

Yeah I got my offer and signed it just before Christmas, I can’t say if you’ve been successful or not of course but I think your in a very good position because it will literally just be a chat about your responsibilities etc. just ask a few questions and stuff and you will be fine.

Not in my call with the placement student no I didn’t get asked anything, for some reason I didn’t have to speak to the manager even though it was mentioned before hand. Maybe it was because I told them I needed to be fast because of my other offer, but maybe just be ready to answer something like how would you deal with the tasks etc but I doubt it. They always said it’s not an interview because they already know you’re a good match for ibm after the AC so it’s just to match you to the correct role

fingers crossed, thank you for your help!
Hi guys, just wondering if you knew the percentage of people who get into the IBM matching pool who end up getting an interview / job offer. Just an estimate would be great, trying to guess my chances. Thanks in advance.
Been in matching for almost 3 months now and really stressed out about getting an offer. Does anyone know any way to contact them?

I don’t know the percentage but I know you don’t have to worry about it being a certain amount of time it’s not like if it’s been 2 months your less likely they just wait until different departments say they want an intern for next year I’m pretty sure
I applied for the Business and Finance role, and haven’t been matched to any roles yet. I told them my preference was Consulting
