Hi there, I’m going through the same situation and I’ve heard a couple more applicants having the same problem. Applied for North London. I called them and they said “just wait, once PECS are complete you’ll get an email”. Very frustrating...
It is isn’t it!! Feels like there is no end in sight at the moment & I’m seeing some people waiting up to 4 months to even have a reserve list email, don’t think I could physically wait that long before I’d get fed up. I was told by someone in DWP a few days ago that passing all of the checks doesn’t actually guarantee a formal offer & that it is purely down to if they can place you or not & even then that is done in merit order. Seems like a hopeless process

Yeah, they should be upfront and at least send a reserve list email, not have us on radio silence. But, no, don’t depend on one job offer, especially when they explicitly state that there’s no guarantee of a formal offer. Keep on applying, there is quite a number of jobs on the Civil Service website.

How long ago did you pass everything? My last contact was 12th July and that was just to say feb dbs was cleared, it was 8th July before that that I had an actual communication!

About the same time as you. Got my DBS by post on the 15th of July. And no updates since then.
While I wish all of you the best, brush up on your German, there is always need for Work Coaches at the Federal Employment Agency :wink:.
