Hey probably worth speaking to them on live chat - https://uk.meetandengage.com/hocandidateportal - you will need your applicant ID... I'm assuming most people are on final stage which is the video interview. After the written test, they took a while to get back to me.

Hey, I've tried calling previously, they just say "Your application is still with the Home Office for the results to be reviewed" apparently they're reviewed by the Home Office directly and not by SSCL. Something new to me! I can't see why nothing can be chased up internally still as 3 months is a long time.

I am also still waiting to hear back about the outcome of my BBA test, and it's been 3 months… This is for the Liverpool and Sheffield flexible caseworker campaign. I really don't know what to tell you other than the Home Office being an utterly shambolic organisation.

It seems that certain people on the CS subreddit have reached the written test and pre recorded interview stage, whilst we are still waiting for an outcome from the BBA test. It makes me wonder what on earth is going on... any bright ideas, or maybe you've received a more positive outcome since reading this? Wouldn't it make more sense for the Home Office to move everyone onto the next stage at the same time, instead of leaving us in the dark and second guessing ourselves?

Hey, Same here! It's not the Home Office sadly, it's SSCL that's the issue, they handle the recruitment. They're shambles.

What a mess..and the Home Office still contract their services out to them. It would have to be a miracle.. but have you heard back yet?? Every week I get the same auto-generated email that says, "thanks for completing the online test. We are still reviewing your application.. bla bla".

Hey yes so I did the interview after and got a offer for the role but decided to go with the compliance Caseworker for hmrc instead. I applied for asylum decision maker too and got a 3 on one of the behaviour questions so lost out on a offer by 1 Mark. Good luck with your interview 😊
