Hi did you manage to find a group for Northampton grads?

Nothing really. Did you get an offer yet?. And what graduate programme did you apply for?

Hey everyone. I got through to the final interview stage of the compliance graduate explorer program however I haven't heard back from Barclays and it has been around 4 or 5 weeks now. I was wondering whether anybody can give me any insight as to what this means for me. Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.

Many of us are in this situation. From reading the thread I guess it’s a wait game

Thank you for clearing this up.

I did my AC for Tech Analyst on 19 January, and Barclays just ghosted me ever since - so unprofessional. I would probably recommend applying to other firms... I received an offer from PwC last week and will send it back signed on Monday. Barclay's recruiters can suck my toes :u:

Contracts take a very long time for some reason, I’ve been waiting about 2 months, if you haven’t don’t ID verification after the day they’d said you’d get the contract send them an email and it should hurry up the ID verification at the very least

But I’d be prepared to wait a while

RSM also ghosting, and KPMG acting weird too, amongst others. At this point, I'm not sure, it might be because I'm an international student. I did some research, and apparently, only 7% of the total were hired by UK employers in 2022. Honestly, this country is a joke after Brexit.

Yes, you are right, something is not right with these companies right now , I think it’s the backlash from Covid and working from home culture

I emailed the recruitment team at the end of last week regarding my application as it’s been crickets recently. Just got this generic reply:

‘Currently, the recruiters are reviewing all the assessments and once done, they will undergo a selection process and notify those who will get shortlisted and move to the Final Stage. For the meantime, please make sure to keep your lines open and check your email regularly.’

Looks like it’ll be a while before I hear back. Just wish they would come out and tell me the application was unsuccessful instead of keeping folk hanging.
