Good day,
Just to chip in that quite a number of us, never got a feedback from Chams Plc, on the management trainee recruitment carried out earlier this year, even after the aptitude test and video upload.
Hello Nosakhare, everyone was responded to after each stage and successful candidates moved to the next stage. If you have any questions about the recruitment process, please contact hcd@chams.com
