I applied through LinkedIn and had the same email stating I would receive a pre-sift assessment within a week or so. Has anyone had the email yet?

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully the online assessment stuff will come through soon then! Good luck

I finally received an email yesterday to choose a driver assessment date in Dec. Hope anyone waiting has also heard.

Has anyone heard back at all from the last recruitment for “Trainee Mainline Driver” job that was advertised back in August ?

I have already have my psychometric, yet when I applied, I got an email saying they won't be progressing with my application.

I applied on LinkedIn

Has anyone heard anything about their application? Has anyone undertaken any OPC assessment recently or waiting to be booked in?
It's all gone quiet and I've not heard anything. I'm starting to wonder if they are still hiring for these roles.

I did see on here that people got told that they had some online assements comming up, c2c are really bad at communicating. it takes a really long time to progress somethimes.

thanks for your response, much appreciated. I agree C2C are very poor communicators.

Do you happen to know how many stages there are in the recruitment process?

Has anyone ever undertaken a Driver Manager interview with C2C - what is it like? What are the driver manager's like? What questions do they ask?

Guessing they’ve sent them all out, think they would have sent the 8 out all at once. Let’s see…. Not great but hope for the best.

I had an email yesterday to say I was on to the medical stage. Hope others hear today!
Congratulations! Still waiting to hear from them.

I would imagine they've done it in waves, like in other companies - but for now its fingers crossed until they say yes or no.

I’ve now signed my contract and had my offer letter with a start date in April. It’s taken me 4 years but I got there at last. Good luck to all of you - I understand that they’ll be looking to do a recruitment again later this year so will share any info I get ahead of the date with anyone still looking/trying.
