I must admit I'm not a fan of the wording from the email

"We SHOULD be in a position to issue results in 1-2 weeks"

Yep! They don't make any promises!😫

I still can’t believe they have given out offers before letting everyone know! Never known that before

I think anyone that hasn’t received an offer will be on reserve list that’s my understanding

I still don’t see why they can’t tell everyone at the same time. Think it’s *****y really

If that's the case, it sounds like there's gonna be a huge reserve list. Not many in this group have said they have received an offer yet anyway. Would just be nice to know either way.

Reserve lists are just a waste of time

Probably best to withdraw and re apply later rather that then be put on a reserve list

you can re apply anyway so may as well leave it sitting on a reserve list and hope for a miracle 😂

How do we know people have received offers? I In here, i have only seen a few posts where people received the unsuccessful email and thought the rest of people waiting are waiting either for a reserve list or a prov. offer? Sorry if i have missed anything.

I haven't seen anyone with offers for anywhere other than Manchester and Heathrow, so for those of us who have applied at small spots that obv have vacancies then not sure that can be true, although granted this forum is a tiny pool of applicants so maybe

I actually feel sorry for people who just got their provisional offer , I got mine 5 months ago . Still have not yet finished the pre employment checks .

Get comfy , you’re going to be here a while .

I’m in the same boat , find it odd on this forum in the time I have been waiting for my or or employment checks to be done , they have checked peoples written tests etc and interviews people ?

Why not finish checking the background of the people you have already offered jobs to before starting another campaign ?


Even better, why not take the people from the many reserve lists they seem to like accumulating!

I totally agree with that. If you have applied, done the interviews, passed but then got put on a reserve list then why not go straight to those lists to see who is still available. Surely this would save a lot of money on the recruiting process and give a job to those who have already shown an interest and passed all the requirements. People must join, leave or withdraw their applications all the time. Work smarter not harder!!

Other than the handful of unsuccessfuls that I have heard on here, I've heard of one provisional offer for Manchester and one for Dover. This relates to the Civil Service applicants and not the Home Office route.
