MS London SA 2024 Timeline

Just sent in my application and did the online tests. Does anyone know the timeline for telephone interviews, video interviews, and AC? Have heard MS moves notoriously quickly, but what does this mean. Any info appreciated

They’ll let you know if you’re moving forward to the next stage within a week. If it’s been over 7 days, you’ve most likely been dinged. This was my experience from last year. I’d say that’s moving quite quick, as within a month you could be invited to an AC. However, the process may have changed this year, as apparently they’re sending out HVs (didn’t have that last year).

Last year’s process for IBD was:

Submit Application/Online Tests -> 1st Telephone Interview -> 2nd Telephone Interview -> AC

 

Did these guys apply the second of the applications being live? They only opened on 1st, I submitted on 2nd and haven't heard anything.

 

I applied a on 4 sept and received the online assessments a few hours after. submitted those this morning and haven't received HV. How long should we wait before knowing we have been cut? 

 

i submitted this morning, are the HV/phone interviews rolling…or just one wave? Would be insanity if last wave is the only one since the application opened up 5 days ago

 

Yeah it’s defo rolling. Waves wouldn’t make any sense, they’re not trying to pull a GS. I think they simply replaced the 1st round telephone interview with a HV. So the vetting process is the same as last year - if you do well in assessments + good application, you get forwarded the HV to complete.

 

roughly how long did it take to move from assessment to HV or telephone interview

 

Guys I think there might be an AC scheduled for the 22nd of September with one every Friday after

 

Was radio silence for me for about 10 days, thought I'd been dinged but have just received HV invitation for GCM. Weirdly relieved to have got a HV lol. 

 

finished hv and received email that they’re reviewing my application…anyone else get this email?

 

had mine yesterday…haven’t heard anything. When did you interview and have you heard back?

 

has anyone received IB AC yet? I finished my phone interview last thursday but no news yet.
