HMRC Tax Professional and Operational Delivery Higher Officer Caseworker

Because she probably got her application competency test filled in at the Job centre ( with NB JSA on file at the interview to drop a hint to the interviewers) and talks about Burger flippers to make herself feel better! ( anything to cut the state welfare bill eh)

Hi Guys. I applied to the recent officer tax professional & operational delivery roles and I received the following message from recruitment:

Thank you for your continued patience whilst your application has been placed on hold. We are sorry that we are not currently in a position to progress your application. As we are sure you will appreciate HMRC is an employer of over 56,000 staff and currently undergoing a huge transformation. Whilst this is very exciting and makes it a great place to work it does mean that there are many factors that influence workforce planning and our estate. We are re-organising how we deliver our business and at this time we are not able to progress your application. We will keep you informed as our plans develop. Please accept our apologies that we cannot provide you with a clear update today, we will contact you as soon as we are able. We expect that it will be May before we are able to provide any updates. Once again please accept our sincere apologies. We would like to thank you for the time and effort you put into the recruitment process to date.

That's the start of the writing off of applicants. They will start with applications that have not yet been through to interview etc ... then proceed onto applicants on merit lists before finally writing off Provisional offers - that way they can make the waste of taxpayers money more acceptable that they have " gone through other avenues first" but still found a surplus of applicants as a result of their inept planning

Which campaign/location did you apply for?

Hi there, Is this the right thread. I had offer for an HO role with HMRC on one of these recruitment exercises for Birmingham however it has been withdrawn due to insufficient space? 2 others I know in Belfast and Nottingham have had the same this morning? Has anyone else had this? Fortunately I still have another Offer

No way. That's awful! When did you apply/for which campaign?

I've met plenty of incompetent people in senior grades and work with a load of SOs who haven't got a clue.

If you don't believe don't reply, they'll soon stop posting. I agree that what they are saying is mainly nonsense too as I don't believe an SO would be privy to such information.

At the end of the day nobody on here knows anything. It's a waiting game for start dates and everything else is purely speculation.

I agree; the Civil Service has plenty of barely literate staff, right up to SCS level. I've also observed plenty of poor grammar, spelling and syntax from people on here purporting to have received offers.

I don't believe this CivilMac is an SO but nor do I believe it is Jamz. I really can't understand Janice's vitriol towards Jamz, just because he/she has a different outlook on this process. If anything I'd say Jamz was being realistic about the ineptitude of CS resourcing and/or HMRC and the likelihood that some people just won't ever see their offers realised.

Because she probably got her application competency test filled in at the Job centre ( with NB JSA on file at the interview to drop a hint to the interviewers) and talks about Burger flippers to make herself feel better! ( anything to cut the state welfare bill eh)

He has caused a substantial amount of anxiety for people on this thread, for no reason other than to try to draw people down to his paranoid level. He gives unsubstantiated, worst outcome scenarios for everything, and directly puts down those who express happiness about their formal offers.

Not only that, but he paints a very negative, corrupt image regarding the civil service, which is open to the public. Anyone searching for recruitment advice would come across this. He is slandering his future employer.

So to be honest, yeah I do understand Janice's frustration.



Considering you spend most of the working day browsing this forum and posting on threads for recruitment locations which don't even apply to you, I think you're hardly one to sneer at a job seeker.

And I also find it disconcerting that you can have such a derogatory attitude to those on state benefit, considering the department you'll be working in...

Have you nothing better to do Jamz?

My thoughts exactly. He's too easy to spot - like he's not trying or he really is just that thick. The fact he's acting this way says too much about his attitude towards others. Certainly not the kind of person I'd like to be stuck working with!

Hi guys

Can someone in here give me information on what intelligence officer role involves at HMRC
