IBM graduate matching process 2017

I applied for the Software Developer graduate scheme at IBM, and passed the assessment centre almost a month ago. I'm now in the 'matching process' and haven't heard anything back since.

Is anybody else in the same position? Has anyone been offered a position yet?

Mine was on the 2nd February in Hursley. Yeah I'm still waiting too, seems to be quite a wait with IBM...

I got through the AC for TSS in December... still waiting:frown:
Same, driving me a little bit insane, no timeframe given other than a number of weeks. I've got some other job offers lined up but IBM is my favorite by miles but there's no guarantee there will even be a job at the end of the wait so I'm really unsure what to do.

Yeah it is not a very clear process. From what I've heard, now we've got to the matching process chances are very good we will get an offer at some point.

At least for software developer, I did notice they extended the application deadline from the end of february to the end of march, so that does suggest they are looking for more people, so surely they haven't filled up all the spaces in matching yet!

But that might mean we'll have to wait until april for after the applications are closed.

But who knows. Yeah its very annoying with other interviews/offers not really sure what to do..

Yeh hopefully you'll hear soon. I would have thought they would lose quite a few good graduates by making them wait. I'm also sure they have software developer roles coming up all the time.

Technical solutions specialist. Yourself? How long have you been waiting?

Well done for passing the AC. I've been waiting since 2nd feb, so i wouldn't expect to hear all that soon. I'm assuming they are waiting until they've interviewed everyone, the deadline is the 31st march so hopefully will start hearing in the next few weeks, but who knows

Thanks, and belated congratulations to you. So fingers crossed from March 31st.

I emailed them a month or so ago but it seems there's nothing we can do except wait it out and hope for the best!
Just out of interest, if you guys log onto the ibm careers website, and look in the 'candidate zone', what does your application status say?

Mine did show as 'under manager review' but has since just said that i have 'no application status to view.' i did email them and they said that my application is still in the matching process, regardless of what the website says, but was just wondering if anybody has seen the same thing!

Mine still says 'Under Manager Review', but I only passed the software development assessment centre last week, so it could be a length of time thing.
@bluebaboon33 and @LL92
Mine also still says 'Under Manager Review'. I passed the assessment centre two weeks ago though. The email did say it may take a number of weeks to get an interview or offer but I'm sure managers will be reviewing applications even now.
Anyone heard anything yet?
Nope not yet
Nothing here either, still waiting.
