Hey all,
I just found out I am 4th on the reserve list for the NI fast stream. Does anyone know what the chances of getting a place are from that position?
Thanks!

I've just had my reply too, 2nd on the hr list. Hopefully this is a good sign, on last year's thread the people who were 25th and 27th were placed but think the was for gfs so maybe they had more extra places.

TOM! How excited are you for saturday? Don't tell me your going because I'll be so jealous, I'm working but I've convinced my operations manager to let me put it on the radio across the store
Don't want to jinx us but I've booked the final off in advance just incase!

I'd think that 2nd on the list is a good place to be in, even if this doesn't preciselyguarantee you a job. In 2010, 13 people applying for HR declined employment after being offered a place, it'd only take two this year for you to strike gold

Hi Crazy Chick,
Just found out I'm on the NI reserve list as well (3rd). I'm hopeful that something will work out as I saw some people on last years thread that managed to make it through after being on the reserve list. Fingers crossed!

Obviously every year's different but I'd say that looks good for you!

Looks extremely promising
Hopefully it'll happen sooner trainer than later, so you can go in the general placement pool and get placed alongside everyone else.Hi, anyone who was successful for the northern Ireland scheme actually heard anything from them? I found out I was successful on the 8th March but still haven't heard anything. I'm dying to know where I will be working and when I will be starting.
Has anyone on the EFS scheme had their placement yet? If so, in which department? And what documents have you been asked to provide?
Still waiting to hear back from the FCO FSB, so currently in limbo, and have no idea where I'm likely to be placed if unsuccessful for FCO. Any info from the advance guard would be much appreciated.

Hey,
I've been away for a few days and see that there have been many comments regarding pay and pass marks.
Congrats to all those that pass and sorry for those that didn't.
I had my meeting with the Fast Stream Grade Manager and can say boy this scheme is going to be very very exciting. I am already a civil servant and know the system and the structure through relationships with present fast streamers.
With regards to pay - this has all been harmonised and there is I believe to be two standard rates for salaries for those based in London and those outside.
Regional salary - £25,000
London (with weighting) - £27,000
The salaries are banded - at this rate you are banded a C2 and that salary goes up to £36,500 which allows for bonus's etc...
After two years most should be regraded to C1 which is the £36,500/£37,000 for regional and approximately £40,000 for London, so I wouldn't panic about scrounging through.
Every fast streamer also has to spend a placement outside their nominated region. I am with the MoD so if i were to be based in London I would have to spend 12 months in another station maybe Bristol, High Wycombe or Portsmouth. You will move around.
Once your through it doesn't matter what score you get - there is no pecking order. Everyone is afforded the same opportunities - regardless of which department you are in. Some less known departments may regrade their fast streamers early; it has been known.
The FSAC scores are used to place candidates in their chosen preferences based on a ranking system.
Good Luck!!

Well after 99 long days since my fsac, finally got my results today...reserve 
Does anybody know much about this? I know I'm not guaranteed a job but does anybody know the odds of getting one when put on the reserved list? Or where I could find more info on it?
I guess patience is a virtue

Hi Rach,
Would you mind sharing what scheme you were on and what score you got to be a reserve? Someone said that with 16.56 they failed, and someone else passed with 16.58 (both GFS CD I believe).
Did you get 16.57? I ask because I am trying to work out how many people might be on the reserve list. I have heard it said that occasionally other offers arise through the year and job offers might (big MIGHT) be offered to other candidates who missed the pass mark by a fraction.
I am not complaining about the FS methodology at all and understand the need for a clear cut off. Knowing what the cut off is for clear pass fail reserve could help other candidates, including in future years (hello class of 2013/14/15!)
If anyone else can shed any light on this as well I would be very curious.

I just had an email back from Parity. There is no reserve list for GFS this year. I also asked whether they could divulge how far away I was from the pass mark with 16.26 but no response. Hope this answers your questions!

Fingers crossed for us!!! What was your score at fsac? I tried to get more info out of parity ie how many people are on NI reserve list and what my chances were of getting a place but they wouldn't tell me any more! Do you think some NI depts havent released their places yet? Hopefully!!!

Every fast streamer has to spend a year outside their nominated area? Are you sure? What about people with kids who have settled them into schools or people who have family to look after? Also, just normal people who dont want to be living a nomadic lifestyle? This seems a bit insane. Interested if perhaps only for MoD?
After a day of despair just found out I'm 1st on reserve list for NI fast stream. Not I'm not sure whether I should be kicking myself for being so close to getting accepted or if i should be thankful that I'm ok. Would anyone have any knowledge of how certain a person in this position would be of getting accepted? Cheers folks

As someone stated earlier, that will come down to where you rank on the waiting list. If you're high up, the odds may be quite good. Someone 4th on the list got called up as early as April!
However, things "may" be different this year. I remember that last year, I could apply for the GFS and NI FS. This year, it appears that they've narrowed the applicant pool.
Question: has anyone successful in the GFS also been invited to the TiB FSB?
Yes I am pretty certain. There will be the obvious exceptions but if your with for exampe DIFID - they have a headquarter in Glasgow and one in London. If you were based in London then you would be expected to spend a placement most likely in the Glasgow Office. That is why they say that you must be flexible with your travel and job.
DWP have a headquarter in Sheffield and London. People on the DWP Fast Stream have had the responsibility of running a job centre in Leicester.
Ministry of Justice - if you read the profiles on the civil service website it gives an example of a fast streamer managing and running the Surrey Courts - magistrates and County.
It is not all centralised in London so their are responsibilities outside of London which Fast Streamers will be required to take up.
I don't make the rules. The Fast Stream however have a very good support function - if you were based in London but had to work in Bristol; they would pay for accommodation, travel, utilities, miscallaneous expenses. They cover basic mobility expenses.
