It was only open for a day. I feel a little silly not applying to it. I could've but decided I wouldn't bother. I probably should've

No, only recieved an email saying my application form was complete 2 weeks ago. I would've thought we would get a quick response as the window to apply was so small so not many could've applied. But I am guessing they're taking their time to choose as the next stage is literally the interview and thats it. So they need to reduce their numbers down by quite alot. I might send a follow up email but most the time the response is "We have a high volume of applications" so its better to wait another week or two.

Its so weirdly competitive. The DTS literally opened for 3 hours. Im sure they closed it after receiving 50-100 applications.

Is this the one that opened up earlier this month and closed after a day? ik someone who applied to the same IBM degree apprenticeship last year for digital tech and it was around this time. They said it closes after a day and there is like this application form you do (you probably already have done it) but after that like mentioned above it's legit straight to the final stage which consists of a 1 to 1 interview and a group assessment centre. The reason why they close applications after like 1 day is because the start date for these roles is in March so they need to move quick

Yeah your right. They had starting dates for April. I selected September Start date on the form. Do you know when they start to run AC.

I think you can still register to apply via the website - IBM runs an Agile process for recruitment. So you register and then they contact you to apply (apols if you already know this). There is an online presentation that shows how to register (toward the end)

Nothing yet. They’re currently working on applicants who chosen April Start. I contacted the recruiter and she said in a couple weeks, they will be sending AC for the September Applicants.

Ive seen someone with a AC on the 12th March. Its because he selected the April start date. For all September start date applicants, we will hear back around Early April for AC
