In my experience, having received them all, their are 3 responses;
1. Please come for an interview.
2. We are impressed with your application but can't offer you an interview at this time. We will keep you on file for 6 months and contact you should an opportunity become available.
3. PFO.
The PFO's tend to go out first. The longer you wait the better your chances of a getting an opportunity. Might not be the same for everyone but that is how it was for me.
Only other advice I can give is that the SHL OPQ forms a reasonable part of the interview. It highlights strengths and weaknesses which you will be questioned on in the guise of "give us an example of when....". Answer honestly and CONSISTENTLY. The test results will highlight if you have just randomly started clicking boxes and I get the impression it doesn't go down well if the results are not consistent. Questions may be asked by a slightly fierce, but not unpleasant, lady who will expect you to justify what you say and want to know how that made you feel.......Just jump through the hoop and hopefully start swimming!
Good luck
