No, there wasn’t any link on mine to start vetting, just stated that I was on a reserve list after the initial successful interview. Probably means you’ll get an offer.


I’ve got an offer so as your only one point behind me I imagine you’ll have an offer within a week or two 🤞

Update! I completed the pre recorded interview on 19th June and today 20th July got an email to say I passed. I need to do identity and reference checks. Honestly I don’t know how they thought it went but I think I did we’ll because I answered each in star format even if my first two answers were a bit hesitant. My scores were:

Behaviour: Communicating & Influencing:

Question 1: 5

Question 2: 5

Behaviour: Managing a Quality Service:

Question 3: 5

Question 4: 5

Behaviour: Making Effective Decisions:

Question 5: 6

Question 6: 5

Score: 31


I’ll keep this thread up to date on how long it takes to get to the next stage x


well done i got provisional offer with 28 from interview , checks in progress . how long does it take from provisional to full offer ?

I got an offer in the Black Country on July 21 and the Business Area I'll be in is Work and Health Services - Universal Credit Jobcentre. I'm a bit curious as to whether this is where all successful candidates end up or they're other Business Areas candidates are allocated to. Also not really sure what the day-to-day tasks will involve, and also whether flexible working will be an option.

Anyway, I completed my Pre-employment Vetting Questionnaire just over a week ago and I suppose it's now time to sit and wait. I imagine they get a lot of applications but I have to say the process could do with some improvements to speed things up :smile:

I applied for Staffordshire and completed my pre-recorded interview on the 8th july and got this message still.

"Thank you for completing your pre-recorded video interview. You should hear from us soon with regard to the outcome."

So I am guessing I did not get through then.
