Is it just me who hasn’t had the NSV forms through? So frustrating I haven’t heard anything since being offered a provisional offer in Dec

Hi yes, I did my interview on Friday. Totally messed up, ran out of time on the delivering at pace question (ironic 🙈) and therefore didn’t address all of the sub questions. This is the second launch pad interview I’ve had and it doesn’t suit me at all. Hope you do better, good luck!

Hi did you hear back from your interview? I have one in a few weeks for this role first interview in a while

Hey! I’m in the same position, I got the offer and completed the pre employment checks in December and I’ve heard nothing since! I’ve been a bit worried about it as I emailed a few times for an update and also heard nothing. Hoping the forms come through soon! Reassuring to know I’m not the only one in this position, which office did you apply to? :smile:

It’s turning into quite the wait but hopefully we hear something soon! I also emailed them a couple of weeks ago but haven’t had a response yet. I applied for Cardiff, what about you?
The civil service application centre for me now just says

We are still checking:

whether you have previously been dismissed from employment in the Civil Service


Surely that won't take long...I've never worked for them before!

I wouldn’t have thought so. Feel like we are edging to the finish line! Mine is just saying references outstanding (my CTC came through last week).

It’s odd though cos I gave two personal references but they only contacted one. Doesn’t anyone know if that’s usual?
