Has anyone else received an email saying they’ve met the minimum required standard and will be notified of the result after the final selection stage? Not 100% what they mean as I wasn’t aware of a final selection stage

I got this email too! Have you been into your application centre and has anything changed? I was told I’d get an email around the end of July regarding how I did at the assessment so I don’t know if that’s when I’d get a decision?

Well, despite receiving that email at 11:15 my application centre says unsuccessful! 😂 So I’ve emailed them for clarity.

The same thing happened to me!! I am relieved to not be the only one. I received the email saying I met the minimum requirements and logged into my application centre for it to say application unsuccessful - I too emailed for clarity.

As far as I understand it, the assessment centre was the final selection stage before going into the candidate pool and vetting. I think sometimes the automated email messages that get triggered from the civil service job application portal when the recruitment team update an application status can be a little misleading or vague, so hopefully you will get clarification from the recruitment team soon 🤞

I attended the assessment centre in Sept/Oct 2019, got a provisional offer in March 2020 and have been waiting ever since for a formal offer. Is anyone else in this situation? I get the worrying feeling this is just not going to go anywhere or I've been forgotten.

I suppose it depends where your location is and if there are any vacancies, where did you apply?

Afternoon, I was the same, assessment in October, provisional offer in January and medical in April. I got an email earlier this week with a contract and start date so they may just be working through us. Worth chasing up 👍

Thanks, it's good to hear that others have also been waiting such a long time too! I'll wait for a few more days before sending them a little reminder.
When is your start date and in what area roughly, if you don't mind me asking?

Has anyone had any further updates? I'm really hoping I get my start date soon!
