How long does it take for an interview invite to come through after doing a online assessment
Applied for a RX role in Jan, 2 months later got a invitation for a online assessment and it’s been a month since I’ve done it with no progress, do I assume it’s a rejection or is there some hope.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, timelines for hearing back after an online assessment can vary significantly depending on the firm and the role. For example, in some cases like McKinsey, candidates who pass the first round may wait several days to a week for their application to be forwarded to preferred offices and for decisions to be made. However, rejections are often communicated more quickly, sometimes within a day or two after the interview or assessment.
Given that it has been a month since your online assessment with no updates, it could indicate a rejection, but there is still some hope. Certain firms, especially in restructuring (RX) or niche roles, may have extended timelines due to internal processes or waiting for other candidates to complete their assessments.
To gain clarity, consider reaching out to the recruiter or HR contact politely to inquire about your application status. This shows initiative and may provide you with a definitive answer.
