Evsy92 - when did you apply? And have you heard back from the assessment day?
I applied end of Jan/early Feb, passed video interview but now been told after chasing that I’m just being considered for an assessment day (standard response!)...

Yea i applied at a similar time, early February i think. The didnt hear anything until mid May and got invited to the AC. It all depends on where the jobs are, i think i got invited because a job became available near my postcode. Its a long waiting game unfortunately. Stay positive!!

Ha ha thanks. Trying to! But so frustrating. I’d just like to know either way!
What postcode are you if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah I know how you feel. Luckily my current job is ok so I’m not too desperate to jump ship. I’ve also got Fibre Jointer

Hi, could I have the link for the discord group please?

I applied in early February then did my AC at the start of June. Think it all depends on when a job pops up in your postcode, Im SK9 in cheshire

Let me know when you'll be on and I'll try get a link as they aren't live very long.

Anyone else just has an email saying they’re coming to the end of the recruitment process?

Just had this:

Good morning,

Firstly I want to thank you for your application for the Openreach Trainee Engineer role, and our apologies for how long it has taken us to contact you.

We have been overwhelmed with applicants for these roles. To date we have had in excess of 60,000 applications for less than 3000 trainee engineer vacancies.

Due to the number of vacancies we had and the high number of applications received, we are nearing completion of our current recruitment campaign in your area at this time.

We just wanted to give you a quick update to let you know we still have a few more remaining vacancies and we are working as quickly as possible to set up additional assessment centres to fill the remaining posts.

Unfortunately we won’t be able to invite everyone to an assessment centre. I want to add that when all our vacancies have been filled, we will keep your details on file. When new roles are released, we will contact you to see if you are still interested in working for Openreach.

Thank you again for your application and patience.

Regards

Openreach Recruitment Team
