When you say results r out today do you mean that successful candidates should have received some kind of communication offering a role today? Any info appreciated.

Yes some people have started getting letters to say they have passed but not high enough to be placed I've heard placements are starting end June for those who have been offered a position

Heard of someone getting a reply saying "you have been unsuccessful on this occasion as the panel were unable to assess your interview due to sound or video issues". Seems a bit unfair, waiting all this time and not being told there was an issue. Everything seemed ok from the applicants side.

That’s a bit unfair after all this time. Is everyone receiving outcome letters or emails…..or both if they have been unsuccessful , passed but no position to offer, successful etc?

I emailed HR Connect to ask for an update and got this back:

We are aware of an issue with the result letters being issued for the AO competition. We appreciate this is disappointing and the issue has been escalated with our IT provider who are investigating the issue.

We are unable to re-issue any letters at present while this is being investigated. As soon as we are in a position to issue these letters we will do so.

Everyone should have their interview results by now. A lot of agency staff in our department applied, and while a good amount were successful, many of them also received a fail because of “Audio/video issues” with their interview

NIPSA released an email for our agency staff telling them to dispute this if they received it, HR really should have been in touch with these people to organise re-sits of the interview. So if anyone reading this thread received this email, absolutely email HR to put in a formal complaint regarding this.

That's great to know. The person I know assumed it was their computer that was the issue but obviously not. I'll let them know. Thank you

Offer letters allegedly going out for folks who got their pre placement last week. Quickest turnaround I’ve seen if true
