Civil Service 577 - Staffordshire and Derbyshire

Hello All was wondering if anyone else had applied for the above EO work coach role and had an update from their Pre-recorded interview my status changed today to:

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

This was six working days (took out weekends) since I did my interview is this a good sign or not?

any support would be appreciated.

Many thanks

I applied and mine says exactly the same, interview as completed 29th Sept x

How do you feel it went? and what areas did you put down?

all the best for your application

I think it went ok 😬 never know though. I applied for Matlock. Good luck with your application, fingers crossed x

Heya just letting you know randomly:

There is another recruitment campaign planned. Kind of put the dampeners on me as well to find out this.

I know, I don’t understand it. I work for DWP as an AO already and no-one knows what’s going on ?

Hi everyone. My status changed to ‘Thank you very much for completing the interview. Your application is being reviewed’ yesterday. But I’ve never received any results for SJT.
I’ve also put in for another Staffordshire recruitment campaign as I’m sure I messed up my interview 🥰

Hi hunni. Let’s hope what people have said is correct and the review status is a positive outcome. You will love working in DWP I only left as my office closed. If I can help in any way from my experience of benefits and working in the jobbies let me know 🥰

Hanley, Newcastle and Kidsgrove. I’ve not worked in a Jobbie since 2015 so the role will be all new to me like you. Fingers crossed for everyone. If I hear anything thing I will pop it in the chat.

Still nothing despite it saying it's been under review for the past three days I am concerned because I put down my start date as being able to work on the 1st Nov but that won't be able to be done now as I have to serve a month's notice at least. Also the other recruitment campaign is closing on Monday but don't want to go for it if I am going to get an offer.

I wouldn't worry about that start date, you won't be starting on the 1st November. You'd be lucky with a 1st December start date. More likely it'll be January to start from this campaign. You shouldn't be handing in notice until you get a formal offer, which won't happen until PECs are complete, until then you don't have have a firm anything.

Thank you for the luck, we're all in the same boat.

I'd say the message we have is a positive, but we don't yet know whether we'll get a provisional offer or reserve listed, which will depend on score, list position and locations selected. I'm pretty sure we've scored enough to get past the interview, but there's a long way to go yet. So having been through this process before I just take it each step at a time until you get the formal offer, start date, and signed that contract. There's also the complication this time that there's a potential hiring freeze starting in the next few months, how that is handled varies by department.

Incidentally, they're normally pretty flexible on start dates, though they'll have some set dates in mind for training. You'll either complete PECs, then get a call from your potential line manager/someone in a DWP district office asking for a suitable start date, then you'll get a formal offer OR, they'll just email you a potential start date and ask you to get back to them if it's not suitable. I've had both in the past. They understand about notice periods, so wouldn't worry about that.

CS recruitment isn't quick, and it isn't helped that there's about three layers of people involved - departmental, SSCL and Cabinet Office - and I know I'm not always the most patient, but they will get there eventually.
