Civil service fast stream 2014/2015

Yeah, true. Are they gonna be matching people up from now until December? Or do you think there'll be a cutoff point whereby if you haven't heard back you haven't got anything? I just hate waiting around and getting all hoped up......

I also got the email with the pre appointment forms this morning, I got a score of 14.74 in the FSAC, but I limited my area to the east and West Midlands

Noice, I also got mine yesterday with a much lower FSAC score lol. I'm kinda wondering whether getting the pre-appointment checks actually means that its more likely you'll get an offer, or if they are just being cautious and sending them to everybody just to make sure that we are all suitable, without having matched us to anything yet.

However, I read through the info letter we got with the first email, and in the pre-appointment checks section it does say that "theywill be in touch with you to begin the paperwork if we are able to match you toa vacancy". So I'm quietly hopeful haha.

Im not sure tbh, part of me is worried that you might be right, but if you send them all out, then receive all of the responses its a lot of data to go through with referencing for three years, and the DBS checks for potentially nothing?

Do you have any geographical limitations at all or would u move anywhere? - Sorry just realised you said you limited it to London xD

Im hopeful, did some agency work in the civil service during uni, and now really want to find my way in!

Yeah, I was pretty much thinking the same thing, especially with the DBS checks and the sending of the degree certificate, as not only would they be wasting time, but also our money as I'm assuming everyone's gonna pay for recorded delivery.

Indeed. I really like the idea of working in Whitehall, it just seems awesome haha. Have you put any?

Tbf I'm sure we don't have much to worry about anyway, all the evidence seems to indicate that we'll all probably get something. They did seem pretty desperate in the email. I've never heard of an employer using the words 'it is very likely you'll get a place'.

I think it means you're being offered something--I got the forms too, and then on Friday a phonecall from the Department for Education offering me a job, so I imagine you'll hear back pretty soon.

Hey man,

you probably won't remember, but I was wondering if the phone call you got from the DoE was a private number? I missed a private number call this morning, and was thinking it was probably a department calling

Did you find out if it was a department?

Hey all, For those who were successful In the DAS when were your initial assessment centre days? Do you reckon they're going through applicants chronologically? I had mine near the end of June and haven't heard anything.

I haven't heard anything back yet since sending the forms in for direct appointment, but my FSAC was on the 8th of January?

Oh wow that's a long time waiting - when did they email you with the generic DAS email?

Oh right I got my email on the 13th July about the DAS. Guess we'll have to just sit and wait... I did call for an update just under a week ago and the response was that they are waiting to hear back from departments and those that have received the email are still 'very likely' to get a job out of the scheme. Good luck!

My FSAC was back in December and I got the generic DAS email on 13th July. I then got the email about pre-appointment checks last Thursday along with the paper forms the same day. I completed them and sent them back last Friday and today was informed I've been matched to a position in HMRC and will be hearing from them by August 24th.

Can't see it being anything but a matter of time for us all.

Think I got the same email as you about HMRC today, hopefully it's more than one position or location.
