I am the OP.

I had the final interview/unit preview on 29 Apr. Afternoon. Less than 2 hours later, hiring unit sent me the G50 form to fill in. I completed and sent to them immediately.

So it has been 2 weeks since. Everything was done by the hiring unit - including liaison for interviews and all. I found it strange... like my prospective colleagues would Whatsapp me using their own HP. I thought they would be using their DID to contact me. And from the looks of it - seems like a personal phone number rather than a work handphone number.

HR was not involved at all. MHRD never once contacted me.

Should I drop the team a chaser? my G50 - i am a current civil servant and i did it before so should be ok ba.

All DXO receive monthly mobile phone subsidy and as such mobile phone is the normal comms mode.

You may need to get used to faster comms via mobile phone.

when was your last g50 clearance done? a few years ago?
g50 clearance in reality may take a month or so to clear the pax
even if u r existing civil servant or public officer in another stat board or ministry,
will still have to be screened for the g50 nevertheless

doubt chasing MHRD folks will help because screening is done by another team?
easily need to screen with the likes of MSD, ISD and even CRO minimally for a start bah

Like someone mentioned above, I don’t think this (aka clearance stuff) can be chased though. Tbh really depends on the hiring manager. Like for my case, my hiring manager was really kind enough to expedite and update me once it’s cleared.

Hi I also applied around the same time as you. Was the number they called you with No Caller ID or there was a number? Cus recently i received multiple No Caller ID calls within a minute while I was away. I had a suspicion so i went to check the impressai chatbot and found out that the application status changed from Needs Approval to Under Review. Not sure if it's just a coincidence or legit mindef hr call

Likely to be coincidence, Mindef calls should have displayed numbers.

Processing time is slow.

About 2-3 months from interview to job offer.

How long does it take for MHRD to get back with the salary package and then the contract signing? I feel like the wait is damn long sia…. They did told me pending approval few weeks ago… really wonder how long more do I have to wait…

Entire package including salary will be revealed at job offer stage.

Then if you agree, they will arrange for you to sign the contract.
