Trainee recruitment: some feedback
16th December 2016
We have been overwhelmed by the response to our advert for a trainee, receiving over 130 applications. Responses to all those who applied will be sent out early next week.
Given the number of applicants we have decided to hold an informal reception in the first week in January to which we will be inviting around 20 people. This will give us the chance to tell you a little more about us and the nature of the role and you the chance to meet some of the SKO team. Our plan would then be to invite around a quarter of you back for a more formal interview.
As will be apparent from this, there will more than 100 of you whose applications we can’t take further forward. We are acutely aware that this will come as a disappointment and are hugely grateful for the enormous amount of time and effort so many of you put into writing to us, and sending us your cv. The calibre of the applicants was arresting- we were all too conscious that our experience and professionalism would almost certainly have been found wanting, against yours, at this stage in our careers. You have, to a person, done interesting things, shown tenacity, dedication and enthusiasm. We hope that all of you will find your way into the profession.
