Wondering if anyone has any colour as to what stage the Jefferies 2026 April start OC is at. I understand the first round of online assessments were sent out Thursday 3rd December 2025

when did you submit your app? I applied a while ago (back in October I think) but I haven't received the OA
This is for the April Start OC. I think application only opened on the 27th November
They already started posting April Start app on the same day with SA and FT which is way back in September. That's why I've been thinking is it because I submitted the app too late that I didn't receive the OA yet.
Where did you find this opening? I didn't see it anywhere on LinkedIn
Company website
Anyone have any insight on the Rx process - I think it started later than the others.
As anyone done any interview rounds yet for the OC April start ?
I know that for some teams R1 is taking place this next week
Any insights into when R2 will take place?
Not sure - depends on team. What team did you interview with?
Industrials. Last week. I am going skiing next week so it is a bit distracting not knowing what to expect.
Take the interview at the chalet to let them know you’re shredding. They’ll like that
Well it’s meant to start in April, and they would need to complete background checks etc. for successful candidates, so who knows, but I’ll let you know if I hear anything.
Mind if I ask what was your interview structure like? The first HR email said the first round is 2x20min but I only received 1 invite for 20min.
Has any one heard back after round 1 ?
what team are you talking about (for round 1) ?
