You asked
Dear Sir or Madam,
TfL ran a recruitment campaign over 2020/21 to recruit new Service Managers for London Underground. I understand that there were 11 successful applicants from the campaign.
I am writing to request anonymised information from Assessment Centre 3 of the 11 successful candidates.
There were two types of railway incident used in the scenario based assessment. Either a Person Under A Train or a Derailed Train. This has been confirmed by a Team Leader at Capita/TfL Recruitment.
I am requesting three pieces of information please:
1) How many successful candidates were there in this campaign? Was it 11?
2) Can you please confirm the percentage of the successful candidates who had a person under a train type scenario? And the percentage of successful candidates who had a derailment incident?
3) Can you please confirm the scores of the successful candidates for both of the assessments of Assessment Centre 3, in a completely anonymised format? I am not interest in who score what, just the scores for each of the two assessments at Assessment Centre 3.
I believe that this request is proportionate and will cause minimal work in providing this information, as it relates to a very small number of candidates and this information is already collated on a spreadsheet held by TfL Recruitment.
Thank you for your assistance.
