Is it? Because one of the questions I got asked when I applied for Dec 2025 asked whether that’s my first application for Sept 2026 recruitment cycle

Yh so its still fine to apply to both, as you guys have said its 2 different recruitment cycles

Group exercise? I thought it will be an individual written exercise after the VI? That’s what it says on their website. I still haven’t done my VI though.

Are you serious? You’ve received feedback from the recruiters on your video interview 30 minutes after submitting? I thought it would take like 2 or 3 weeks

I think they're pushing to arrange and send invitations for the final stages in the next few weeks, so they can hand out offers September - November I'm guessing

So did you receive an invitation for the virtual written exercise? And will this be combined with a final interview at the end of the same session or is the final interview at a later date?

Ahh my bad i thought it was a video interview so a half an hour response tome wouldve been rapid. Congrats and good luck for the written exercise. Ive heard its not too difficult and a bit of common sense and professional awareness and u'll get the final intervirw
