Hi guys,
What was the questionnaire like?

Hi guys,
What was the questionnaire like?
If I were you I'd stay on their back. It has been known for some to be forgotten otherwise.Hey guys, I'm in the talent pool for a conductor role. I haven't emailed for a update at all this year and figured it would be pointless with Covid, as they will probably have a backlog of candidates. However, just wondering when it might be best to email for an update - just to see where we actually are in the process etc...
Has anyone heard back from the March recruitment campaign yet. Looks like they are getting back to people this week.
I passed the DMI, just waiting for an assessment date (obviously delayed due to Covid)
Cardiff depot.. hopefully Chester will get back to you soon!Which depot was that for.
Sorry i meant the guys waiting for the Chester. It seems like they did the Cardiff recruitment first and waiting on Chester a bit.
Yeah I had the ‘sifted’ mail yesterdayHas anyone heard back from the March recruitment campaign yet. Looks like they are getting back to people this week.
That was for ChesterHad the ‘no thanks’
Yeah I had the ‘sifted’ mail yesterday
@Burt807 had previously been told no thanks but received a ‘you are proceeding to the next stage’ e mail saying TFW will be in touch
Well done on that good newsUnlucky mate. At least there is another recruitment campaign.
I am lucky enough to have moved on the next stage. Does anyone know what the process is now.
My understanding is telephone interview-assessment center-DMI
Previous been telephone interview Face to Face (DMI) Assessment centreWell done on that good news
Previously a phone interview was the next stage
Had three links today from Acorn for depots in the NorthStill waiting for the questionnaire if I have not received by Monday ill probably give them a call.
Yes the first round of invites for application form stage have started to go out this afternoonHad three links today from Acorn for depots in the North
You should hopefully have had the same?
Thanks PavanYes the first round of invites for application form stage have started to go out this afternoon
Yes but please ensure all depots you select in the form are within 1 hour commute as you may be shortlisted for just one depot later on and those selections cannot be changed during the recruitment processThanks Pavan
So one form will cover three depots within an hour?
Hi thanks PavanAcorn I have received the application form. How long do we have to complete them as I would like to complete this at the weekend? Many Thanks
Thank youYes but please ensure all depots you select in the form are within 1 hour commute as you may be shortlisted for just one depot later on and those selections cannot be changed during the recruitment process
Hi Pavan,Hello Rail Forum Members,
Having received enquires from this thread recently I wanted to provide some clarity on previous and current campaigns;
The March campaigns have completed shortlisting - Cardiff has progressed through to interview stage pending assessment centres & Chester is pending interview arrangements to be made in the next few weeks... notifications from us have been sent out to those moving to this stage and to everyone that was unsuccessful in the shortlisting from the March campaigns - including our apologises to those affected due to techology issues.
We have launched this week further recruitment campaigns for trainee roles at; Cardiff, Carmarthen, Chester, Crewe, Holyhead, Llandudno Junction, Machynlleth, Pwllheli and Shrewsbury.
More info here: https://www.acornpeople.com/traindriver
The below change of criteria to previous applicants / 6 month rule has been introduced for these roles;
** If you have been through the interview or assessment process for a Trainee Train Driver role (in any location) within the last six months and were unsuccessful, then please do not re-apply as we're sorry to say that we will not reconsider your application **
If you wish to apply for multiple stations as they are within 1 hour commute then no need to apply to two adverts, as those selections can be made at the next stage. Within 2 business days of applying to an advert you will be sent a link to complete an application form. Queries can be sent to: [email protected] - we will hope to provide continous updates every 2 to 4 weeks on the status of your application.
I will keep an eye on this thread to be able to provide answers to queries that come up where I can.
Many thanks - Pavan, Acorn.

Hi, so far this has been my journey. Initial application online with Acorn, then received the questionnaire link from Acorn (which I did have to chase up), then a few weeks after invited to a Skype interview. Took around 6 weeks before I heard anything, and told I’d passed the interview and to await a date for assessments.Hi mate, just wanted to know if you initially just had a phone interview first?
Then after being successful with that, they arranged the DMI via zoom/Skype etc at a later date?
Cheers.
Does anyone know how Acorn are managing the initial sift after the online application form/CV section?Hi, so far this has been my journey.

No mention of a telephone interview at any point.
What depot have you applied for?
