As an insider, I agree with what has been said. There is currently a 'slowdown' in recruiting while the Companies are reorganised. We are short of F/Os though.
I know it seems that nobody cares, and you can apply and not hear anything, but the recruiting team are incredibly busy. You should see how many there are for such numbers of applicants.
It may not seem like it but I do know that we try to send at least an acknowledgement to all applications, but as it is a web application, it shouldn't cost more than pennies to apply. Better than another Company, I could mention!!
There are always far more applicants than positions and nothing is different at the moment, but keep plugging away at it, and the very best of luck to you and all the other hopefuls.
Sometimes we forget that we were there once!!!
