Hi East Midlands Trains talent team, why did you mention when advertising for trainee mainline driver you wanted BAME applicants to apply. Then you failed at-least 3 applicants from a BAME background at Video interview stage, I know at-least one of these applicants was very well prepared for the questions and as you don’t provide individual feedback it would be interesting to know how you assess if someone passes this stage? I also know someone outside of the BAME applicants had less information in their answers for video interview. So can you please explain why?
Good luck to everyone doing the group assessment, I think most come out of that having enjoyed the day rather than when they first enter
No it was a full day where each person involved was there for the duration and took part in all assessments. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and hopefully I’ll be successful but it is something very different to what I’ve ever done before.
How do you feel you got on then? If I’m not successful so be it but it was thoroughly enjoyable.
I have no knowledge of their recruitment procedures at EMT, however, with so many people applying, and thus getting interviews, one would assume applicants that meet the standard far outweigh the available jobs? Again, it’s luck of the draw a lot of the time?
That’s quality mate! Made up for you. Congratulations. How you feeling? Silly question
