Hi guys,
I submitted my application on 15th of October and have received nothing since that. On their website it says the online test is due to be completed by 20th. Does it mean I am already rejected at the CV screening stage?

Hi there,
I wouldn't read into it. It might just take a while before they get back to you.
Send them a polite email asking to clarify whether the test needs to be corrected by the 20th or whether that's a typo. Honestly, it seems like a very short timeline for the application to be on the 15th and the test to be already due on the 20th.
Best,
Cristian
Hi there,
You should receive a rejection if you are indeed rejected. However, note that this does not always happen.
Ultimately, nothing you can do right now except 1) Apply to lots of other firms and 2) Case prep as if you have the interview.
Good luck!
Hey there :)
Not necessarily! Online test invitations can be delayed, and the deadline on the website doesn’t automatically mean you’ve been rejected. I’d send recruiting a quick, polite email to check whether your application is still under review.
Best, Alessa :)
Hi! Not necessarily. Bain's recruitment process can take some time, and test invitations are not always sent right away especially if there are recrutiments cycles at that office. However, if October 20 was the final deadline for the test, you might just have been moved to a different cycle. I'd suggest contacting the recruitment team to ask about your application. Good luck! :)
I’m also wondering if it was because I did my TestGorilla test five months ago when applying for one of their internships in another location. But since the SOVA system is used in the UK I have no idea whether the TG score will carry forward.
Thank you so much for the advice!
