Hello all. I just read a post mentioning that you receive a positive message if ecosystem works. Is it true?

Hi!

One of my candidates has recently received this message during Imbellus. In other situations, this did not happen but the candidate was still successful.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Anto

Hi, Thank you! Maybe this is a recent thing. I have not heard of anyone else receiving this before September at least!

I took the exam and I received this message for the ecosystem. Also, for the plant defense game , I received messages in the lines of - you gave your plant enough time to survive. Not sure if this indicates success but just sharing my experience.

Haven't heard about this from my coachees so far. It is either new, old, specific, one-off or just a feature being tested.

Honestly, I haven't heard of this but most of my candidates have been focused in the US and Europe. This may depend on the office and specific timing to be perfectly honest!

Hey there,

It is not a recent thing. 

It was actually part of the very first batches of tests as well when it was rolled out. It appears to have disappeared for some candidates along the way and now is making a return. The data is a bit mixed on this.

Source: I interviewed 280+ candidates who took the Imbellus since November 2019.

Cheers,

Florian
