Been curious for a bit now, anyone know average numbers at certain stages?
So in this last wave (2nd jan) I'm told 7000 applied, roughly how many got dam interviews? How many dropped at that stage and have assessments....are the assessments day 1 only this Friday or does someone have a different date?
Wondering how many people feel confident that if through dm interview and assessment they should be fine?

(copied from a previous post)
I read a report for the RSSB that stated the average number of applicants per vacancy is 317. (this was in 2006)
Of the 317 34% (106) drop out before the sift leaving 211 to go into the sift.
Of the 211 only 31% (65) pass this sift.
Another 34% drop out before the Assessment Centre Leaving 43.
Of those 41% fail the assessment centre leaving 17.
Another 10% drop out before the final selection leaving 10.
In the final selection stage an average of 48% will pass Leaving 4.
2 of these will drop out before the medical leaving only 2 to go for the medical.
Of these 1 - 2 will pass and 1 will be recruited.
Obviously these figures are based on the average of 317 applications per position (and it was in 2006 so using the old tests) but you can see how the numbers are quickly reduced at each stage.

The Stage 1 assessments feel like being back in the exam room at school. 25-30 of you in there all at once.
tell me about it. how did you find it? I thought the GB was OK and the last one the TEA OCC. But I just seemed to slow down on the dials. Im sure I got them right just did not go through as many as I thought I would, I might have been abducted by Aliens in the middle of that one! Good luck to everyone today, that was one fast assessment.

Just about to begin!
That was really really bad but was it part of the test lol
Bourdon and dials I enjoyed, teaocc was a strange one for me, and yes the conference next door was a bit off putting
Yes good luck and hopefully see you at stage 2!!

That was fun wasn't it! The bourdon was ok but I always think that until I mark it.
The other ones seemed ok, I guess we'll just have to wait. Nervy weekend for everyone?

It did seem to be over quickly. There didn't seem to be many internal folk there and it was all men.
A blowout seems like a good idea, got a few days for the nails to grow back.

same here. I've even logged on to northern website in the hope that they might update that first. I was excited at first as it said progressed to the next stage of recruitment at OPC or DWS but I think it said that after the interview so back to the wait!
I'm thinking that we should hear from them soonish though, as on the email they sent regarding the assessments the first lot of 2nd stage assessments are due to start on the 13th so they have to give everyone involved plenty of time don't they? Like a week at least?
Took them a week to advise me id passed and gave me 6 days notice for the next stage. Dont think they need to give you as much time as you already have the practice stuff.
