I applied for the Software Developer Degree Apprenticeship but in London. Did the HireVue thing around Christmas and nothing back but a few "We are still processing your application" emails.

I just applied to the Newbury Software Dev role a few days ago.
Haven't got an email asking me to do the HireVue yet.
I'd say there's still a fair amount of time.

For those who had the video interview, have you been contacted yet? Just asking as I applied a while back(mid December) and didn't get any answer yet.

I think that the only emails they've sent out so far have been rejections. I applied in December too and still don't have anything back.

I haven't heard anything since doing the HireVue in December.

I was on a ratemyapprenticeship video session today and Vodafone was one of the presenters. They said that those that have been progressed onto the next stage will know "very soon". They also mentioned that the assessment centres would be taking place at the Easter holidays virtually, so quite a way to go still.

Something else they said was that there's 40-60 apprenticeships they're taking on this year, split between all roles and locations.

Some new information. The first assessment centres will be on the 22nd of March, so earlier than the Easter holidays. 2 weeks before that date you will get a confirmation of your time to turn up, or a chance to arrange when you want it to be. I'm not sure which one. I think it's unlikely they'll wait until then to reject someone(?) so if your application has been out there for a long time now then I'm assuming you're on to the next stage.

The assessment centre will be for the whole day and include a group task, where you will be with 3-4 people. It'll take an hour at most. You'll then have an interview, lasting up to 30 minutes. Everyone will be given the same questions, and every interviewer will mark using the same system. There's then an individual presentation lasting up to an hour again.

Apparently it's not 40-60 apprenticeship roles, they'll hire whoever they think is fit for the job. They probably have a limit but that's what they said in their recent presentation.
