Babcock 2026 intake

Still waiting to do the one way interview. How far are you along?

My application says "Recruiter" under it, I assume that means it's under recruiter review. No idea what that means in real terms though.

i did the online assessment and then the one way interview opened. I'm planning to do it Monday or Tuesday

How long after OA did you get the video interview invite ?

i did the online assessment and then the one way interview opened. I'm planning to do it Monday or Tuesday

How was it? Can you tell me any questions they asked so I can prepare a bit beforehand?

I can contribute to a few questions in this thread.
I think the "recruiter" tag is something that is put there once you've submitted your application and simply means that it is within the recruiters hands now.
The OA is mostly a psychometric test about you and your priorities, with a logical and numerical test added in, I think it's acting as a filter for lower tier applicants.
Here's the timeline for my application:

Heard nothing back since, but if it helps here's the text that is given to you once you've completed this stage;
"Thank you for submitting your video interview.
We can confirm it has been received and is now under review.
We appreciate the time and effort you've taken to submit your video, and we're excited to learn more about you and why you want to work with Babcock.
What happens next?
We can only invite a limited number of candidates to the final assessment stage, so from this point on one of three outcomes will occur:
1. If you're amongst the top-performing candidates, you'll be invited to the final assessment stage.
2. If you pass the video interview but are not amongst the highest performing candidates, we'll reach out to advise you've been placed into our talent pool. This means you'll be on our reserve list for the final stage or invited to apply to another programme.
3. If your video interview does not meet the criteria to progress to the next stage of the recruitment journey, we'll notify you that your application will not be progressed any further.
Our assessors will be evaluating all video submissions to create a shortlist for the final stage of our recruitment process, this will happen after the job advert has closed. We contact you as soon as possible following this, to let you know the outcome of your video interview.
Please note, you will not be able to access the above details after you close your browser so you may wish to keep a copy of this information for your records.
Warmest Regards,
Babcock Emerging Talent Recruitment Team"
The job advert for my programme (Science and Analytical Chemistry) closed on the 16th of Oct, and I've been watching my email inbox intently since. Hence why I'm here watching this thread for others that may have heard back before me. 😅
I have noticed this week though that some graduate programmes have opened back up with a deadline of December, probably meaning that there hasn't been enough candidates to fill those positions, my programme was not one of those to reopen...😨 probably meaning I have stiff competition.
I'm applying from Plymouth, for Plymouth BTW.

About to take my video interview Electrical, Control and Instrumentation Engineering Degree apprenticeship. Anyone has last minute tips on what I can be asked. I also had a question in mind, does AI check this or is it checked by humans from their side, and if so do I need to mention any keywords for skills and under what questions?
