Applying to Home Office as AO / Asylum Decision Maker

Hi,
I applied for asylum decision maker about a month ago. The process seems to be long winded but manageable, mainly consisting of online tests that you cannot really prepare for. The first was a psychological assessment which was about 9 online ‘game’ like tests which tested your judgement and reaction time. I applied for asylum caseworker at the same time so I struggle to remember which assessment was for each but I am pretty sure both had a behaviour/ judgement test to see how you would react to situations. The positive is that once you pass a certain test you will not have to redo it for the other role you apply for. The main difference I have noticed so far is after the online tests for asylum decision maker you will be invited to a video interview assessment but for the other you will be asked to provide a personal statement before the video interview stage. :smile:

I was confused too as I was expecting a mix of strengths and behaviours questions but only had 5 strengths questions.

Hope yours went well, hopefully we won't have to wait too long for our results.

Hi, I did my oac on 15/3, it wasn’t for Glasgow but we were told at the end results would be given on week commencing 3/4. Did they give you an estimate for when the results would be given?

I had mine the same time. Was told I would hear by 10th April. I was told there had been delays but I've been offered another job elsewhere. I'm so conflicted, really wanted this job but can't afford to lose the other one. No one seems to have a time frame. Just keep being told to keep checking the portal!

Hi there, @Fairyfari! I am so sorry that you did not pass the Online Assessment Centre! I am afraid that I do not know the figures of this, but I hope you will apply next time!

I had my OAC on the 2nd May for this role, and I definitely found the tasks interesting!

It was all online. I passed situation Judgment test and sift. But, I failed in the interview.
