I wonder if they’re going depot by depot or just letting people who have failed know first.

Birmingham and Leicester, no email as yet.

Perhaps they are filtering just those who havent met the required pass mark? I'd assume that could be done automatically.
I got my RAAT invitation a day after most on here seemed to, so I imagine I won't find out untill tomorrow anyway.

Yeah, probably just a bulk import of those under a certain score.

I guess so, especially since suddenly today no one seems to have heard anything back after loads of e-mails having been sent yesterday.

if we haven’t heard anything is that a good sign??

No one really known man to be honest. I’m personally trying not to interpret it as anything good or anything bad in particular.

I think people who did well in the Raat are now having application looked at maybe?

Yeah, I tend to agree. I am also just assuming the 2 week wait email started as of yesterday in my head. Giving them two weeks to sift through hundreds of applications.

Im sure in regards of Christmas holidays, for office staff that many will still be off and fully return next week. I may be wrong but this may be the reason why many have not heard

I have still not had my assessment from OPC to do yet!

Odd, Have you checked your junk

They were expiring on the 29th of December, seems odd if you were meant to receive one and you haven't. Maybe contact OPC?

Did you get email saying you were going to receive it? If so I’d contact them.
I've not heard from them either, although, my details (n.i number, d.o.b etc,) didn't have to be filled in until 22.12.22.
I assume they shut down for Christmas on the 23rd so probably not even looked at until the start of this week! I have received the email about a 2 week extension though.

Mine was the same though, I had to fill in my details by the 22nd, filled it in on the 20th and got my invite on the 22nd. I’ve done the RAAT but not yet heard anything back as such so we should see I guess.

I'm taking the stance of 'No news is good news'. Still hopeful!

Was hoping to take a "spur of the moment" trip to Europe in a week or two, don't particularly want to be going if theres still a chance though. Wouldn't want to delay things, not a good look.

I'm currently a long distance truck driver who goes into Europe for weeks at a time and will be away for 14 days from Monday. All I can hope is that if an email comes through they can offer some flexibility due to my situation.
I applied for another role around 6 months ago who's closing date was after I was due to return home, so figured I would be at home for the initial tests. I got an email on day 2 of 7 giving me 72 hours to complete the tests, so I had to them in a rush after a 13 hour day driving...Needless to say I didn't meet the pass mark on that one.
Granted, work is different to leisure, but it does weigh on my mind a bit that my current employment makes it difficult to apply for other roles.

Wonder if there’s an email address for the recruitment team. Maybe forwarding your case is an option.

any idea when we'll hear back for interviews and assessments but also how many trainees will CrossCountry have for depot when they recently advertised?
EchoMike
Member
I am assuming two weeks from the date some folks got rejection emails after the OPC Test, which was the first business day back. So I am thinking 16th of January at least.
I've not heard regarding the number of trainees, but I have seen a post where someone mentioned multiple courses this year. But each depot is likely to be different.
