Hi guys just a quick question do they tend to come back with an application update once you apply for a role?

Hi, I had my interview for this last week, I was just wondering if anyone knew when they would be sifting this role, and also what the start date would be? I forgot to ask both in my interview so I was wondering if someone else had asked

When I asked about the start date they said hopefully mid to late summer but couldn’t clarify any further than that

Hi. Had my online interview last Wednesday. They said they would feedback the result by early May. If successful, checks would then be conducted with the hope and expectation to commence end August / early September. It would be approximately 15 persons per intake. Good luck to everybody who has applied and had their interview.

Mine was updated an hour ago. Simply stating “Awaiting Interview Results”.

From the interviewers, they told me to expect an update in early May, so fingers crossed for a positive update for us all real soon 🤞

Yeah. Results are out. I met the required standard but I'm going to be placed on the reserve list.

I’ve been offered a provisional offer, subject to background checks etc. Everything they’ve requested, I’ve submitted so now continue the wait.

Good luck to everyone!

Congrats. Did they provide a reason for you being put on standby in your feedback? Hope you get it 🤞

There isn't a particular reason for being placed on the reserve list. I only received the score and feedback, both of which are positive.

My wife has learned 2 offers were made at her selected location, leaving her 2nd on the reserve list. Not bad!

Can anyone offer any insight. Will they draw down from the reserve list. Ideally we are hoping that they train multiple cohorts of criminal investigators annually.

Surely it's for scoring above the threshold for the role typically?
