How long after pre recorded interview do they advise whether succesful or not?

Took just over a week for mine to come back

This is the job that I was offered when I applied for the “General Executive Officer” role a few months ago. This is a big project and been told that they are recruiting hundreds over the next year.

I just finished the training for it and now having mentoring - the anxiety built up during the 5 weeks training has faded. If you do get offered the job don’t let the training make you feel initimidated.

Hi can I ask how are you finding the job? What did training entail and what are your main day to day tasks?
I’ve just received my provisional offer so just a waiting game now… how long did it take for all your checks to go through? I’m worried I won’t pass mine!

Congratulations on the job offers everyone. I did my interview last night and it was a total mess. Nothing I'd prepared fitted, star went out the window, one question asked for an example amd I talked generally till 2 mins in then realised so added a quick example! I'm gutted.

Why do you think your checks won't go though? Congrats on the offer

Sorry to hear your interview didn't go as you would have liked. But reading above,. others came away from theirs thinking they had done poorly and got offers from it so don't give up just yet, you may have done enough to pass

I think sometimes you can do a lot better than what you think

Yeah, that's what my friends have told me. I'm just worrying as I'd set my heart on it but the questions threw me off, even with the minute of prep time.
I'm also impatient so am telling myself I'll hear when I hear, some people heard back in a week and some a month later so I know I've got a nervous wait on my hands haha.

Hi there! Do you mind me asking please how long you had to wait following your pre-recorded interview to receive feedback RE your application? Currently in that stage now, never had to wait a month+ for feedback before and unsure what the time frame is. Thank you

Reasons I’m worried about checks. Haven’t had the best financial history (had a CCJ years ago) also I have something minor (public order offence) on CRB, I do already have government clearance though for my current role, I think I’m just panicking as I’ve never had a provisional offer before and it’s just the unknown of waiting! Really hope I get it though. Thanks for responding.

Of course.

So I applied for a campaign back in December and was placed on a waiting list.

9th May I got a provisional offer.
16th May my information was accepted for background checks / onboarding (there were a few issues they needed more info which delayed a few days)
I then got weekly generic emails saying the checks were ongoing
12th June Checks were completed successfully
20th June I got the offer letter and contract which I had to accept on the portal

I also had a call from my new manager to discuss the role and a chat about hours of work and things on the 19th

Hope this helps

Wow that definitely helps, thank you. You've really had a long wait ... I'm no good at waiting and I only applied on this round, closing date was 16th June haha! Sounds like they're on with keeping you informed now. I hope you enjoy your new job.
