HMRC Graduate Tax Specialist Programme 2016

This recruitment process verges on torture. No start date, no communication, no precise timescale for checks. Left completely in the dark and just told to wait. I'm surprised people haven't had mental health issues because of this process.

Lool You are right!! Unbelievable how much time thier takin!!

you know what i got the DBS yesterday afternoon but i dont know exactly what im doing with it . I dont even know who to send it to now. This whole process is killing me to be honest with you . spoke with someone today about the formal offer and start dat e. she said i just have to wait , so i dont know how long I have to wait for the formal offer now . Please if you have any contact on how to submit the DBS pls let me know.

which location are you given btw?

Hey, did you ever find out about what to do with the DBS? Also, how long did it take to come through after you filled in the information? Did mine almost two weeks ago and not heard anything yet

Update for me: provisionally offered O role mid-August in Liverpool after not getting through to stage 3 of TSP last year. Took ID, etc in a week last Friday and received an email to fill in the DBS/health form today which I did straight away. Hopefully not long to go now! Can't wait to hand my notice in at my current employer! Haha

Hey what was the email address that you got the email from? Just wanna check my inbox to make sure its not in my junk or if I have deleted it by accident. I handed in the documents in last Thursday so still waiting to hear back.

You do nothing after filling the DBS . DBS usually take around 6-8weeks . Mine took 9weeks before I received further email that my checks has been complete. Hopefully , DBS could do better than before

9 weeks?! The standard waiting time is 4 weeks! I wanted to be starting soon! I go away mid December and I was hoping for no clashes with start date or starting like the week before! Think I might look at temp jobs for between now and then as it's just too long of a wait with no real income. This whole process is a nightmare!

Quick question about the health deceleration form, do you complete this yourself or get the doctor do this and also where do you send the form off?

exact same position as you, i also go away mid December that's why i'm so frustrated.

Im just hoping they honour the holiday! Especially as the start date seems like it's going to be very close to the time I go away. Atleast we're both in the same position. What location have you been offered?

i've been offered birmingham, what about you?

Went to hand in docs today.when I asked how long for checks they said "how long is a piece of string" and start dates are late October/ early November.

However the guy did say dates are subject to change as management don't tell them anything.

Can I ask you how this worked? I'm interested in applying for tsp 2017. I've seen this mentioned elsewhere. Does this mean if I pass stage 2 tests; I could be offered an O position? Do they interview at a lower level for this?
