Any ideas why it would all still be open and certain people wouldn’t have heard following the VI?They are carrying out face to face interviews this week for Newcastle.

That makes sense. Although waiting isn't great and gets your mind overthinking, there's so much to go through for the whole application process. By all accounts from what I've seen on other threads, the recruitment team is a small team and the workload they currently have is a lot. I'm just happy to be in the running so far and hopefully, get an interview when dates are available.Morning all
I am aware there are obviously A LOT of people that apply for the positions.
I believe they take it from approx 7000 per role to 150 for interview.
So each of the 3 min questions needs a person to review it. Imagen that workload.
I believe they are also waiting dates from the Driver managers for availability to interview. So that is likely the delay ...
Whittling numbers and availability of people to interview
The next intake is likely 20th June ... So time yet. Then Sept!
Fingers crossed. Just out of curiosity, how are you aware of this information? Are you currently a driver?If you think they need people to start on 20th June.
Most have to give 1 mth notice, so 20th may
Now get everyone through interview, assessment centre and medicals ... Should be interviewing by mid April.
A week's + notice to interview, should know next week or after!?

Ah ok, well, good luck with it all!No
I am in the process ... Just ask the right questions!
Thanks for this info! I thought they might have been interviewing initially based on when assessments/VI were conducted/passed. But if this is the case, then at least we should know over the next week or two.If you think they need people to start on 20th June.

Hello. Can I ask you when did you upload your video interview? I did that at the beginning of march and still waiting for response...Thanks for this info!

It was uploaded on Feb 10th. I think they're just working through it as quick as they can.Hello. Can I ask you when did you upload your video interview? I did that at the beginning of march and still waiting for response...
An interview with a DM and HR?Congratulations, good luck with it.
Hopefully. Do you think that because I have applied around 1 month ago after you have applied, even though I am successful for the video interview, they won't me go on with the next step because there have been other successful candidates that applied before me?It was uploaded on Feb 10th. I think they're just working through it as quick as they can.
Yeah, good luck with the interview.An interview with a DM and HR?
I reckon they're probably working thru in batches but won't make a final decision until they've seen enough candidates that pass both interview, psych and medical. They may have it where they are doing two cohorts so one starts in June and the other later in the year.Hopefully.

Did you say you have an interview with a DTM?I reckon they're probably working thru in batches but won't make a final decision until they've seen enough candidates that pass both interview, psych and medical.

Yes, it came thru a couple of hours ago. Thank you!Did you say you have an interview with a DTM?
If so well done!
Spot on ... Well done!Yes, it came thru a couple of hours ago. Thank you!
That’s interesting. Initially there was a closing date for last month, I’m sure there was anyway. Then it came back up with no closing date. Perhaps they’ve got the numbers they need now to go to interview etc.Spot on ... Well done!
I don't know if anyone has noticed .. a closing date of today (16th march) has been put on the LNER careers site for the apprentice driver Newcastle post.
So ... Could be some contact in the coming weeks!
Or has anyone (other than @MawCo ) been offered one?Has anyone taken their DMI for Newcastle yet?
Not yet, sent off GCSE results last week so hoping to find out soon.Has anyone taken their DMI for Newcastle yet?
When did you send your video interview over? Beginning of march?Not yet, sent off GCSE results last week so hoping to find out soon.
Find it strange only a couple have got dtm interviews.Or has anyone (other than @MawCo ) been offered one?
My video interview was submitted 14th Feb. Was asked on 1st March for GCSE results, had to wait a week for them to arrive, then sent them over last Wednesday.When did you send your video interview over? Beginning of march?
If you have your GCSE certificate can you take a picture to send across?My video interview was submitted 14th Feb. Was asked on 1st March for GCSE results, had to wait a week for them to arrive, then sent them over last Wednesday.
Yes... That's what they told me.If you have your GCSE certificate can you take a picture to send across?
Yeah, they gave the email address to send the proof to. It’s just the people resourcing team address.If you have your GCSE certificate can you take a picture to send across?
I think it might just be a timeline thing - like I was first to be asked for certs then I think it was a couple of days/ a week later others were asked for them. There’s a good chance more interviews will be sent out in the coming daysFind it strange only a couple have got dtm interviews.
