bain sova online assessment

hi everyone,

i completed my bain online assessment 2 weeks ago but still didnt get a reply or feedback. (applied as advanced degree)

what is the typical timeframe for a feedback whether i passed to interview steps or not?

i contacted the recruiting team, the answer was an automatic reply that they have tight recruiting time frame but they  will review all applications with all documents.

is there anything to do other than to wait?

Hi there,

Given you already contacted them, I would not do more at this stage. 

If you have not heard from them in two weeks, I would call them with the excuse you want to check if they received correctly the test application.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

The typical timeframe is a couple of weeks.

I would reach out sometime next week (say, Tuesday) to get an update. That said it's not time just yet to panic (HR/Recruiting is pretty swamped in most places right now).

Fingers crossed for you!

2 weeks is ok - its not long. Just for reference, 6 weeks is long.

Now that you have got an automated response from them once, you have a couple of choices in my opinion:

  • If you are really curious, I would recommend a reminder after a 1 week cool-off.
  • If you are curious, then I would recommend 2 weeks cool-off.

Two to three weeks. If you don't pass they will let you know. 
There's nothing you can do at this point (except preparing for the interview).

Hi!

You should soon (in the next week) get an answer. If not, reach out to HR and ask for a follow-up.

Good luck,
