Interviewing at Korn Ferry and took the Verbal Assessment. I wasn’t prepared and scored “Average.” Will I not receive an offer because of this score? How important are these scores? Can a mediocre/average/poor assessment score squash the possibility of a job offer?

Korn Ferry are trying to sell standardised/objective recruiting as a BPO service so would assume they don’t take these things lightly. Easy to pick holes in such assessments but it’s fair to say that verbal skills are important in that field. So average may not be enough.

Suggest you call and say something was off that day and you need to retake. You don’t have to be specific, they do have to be considerate.

And always prepare for interviews…

Average is not bad and they dont only use test results to make a decision. If you haven’t received an offer by now, it might be for some other reason.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Hi All,
During Bosch HR round, I've conveyed my salary expectations. The HR for once, didn't argue the figure quoted. Instead just said, that the offer would be released post approval from business head.

Now, I've filled in firststeps portal details as well. When should I expect the offer to be released? And how frequently should i follow up with the recruiter?
Also, does not countering my demands of requisite salary mean that they'll provide the figure I've asked for?. Kindly suggest.
