Civil Svc/ Statboard - Typical Timeline for making a Hiring Decision

Depends. Your degree is not considered "local". Normally for ministry, they have a salary range for each scheme. So having an honours matter because within your degree itself, they will also peg your salary accordingly. So for example, you are earning 3k outside now and you are joining the ministry. The ministry has a scheme for your uni, say, 2.5k - 4.5k. They can give you 3.5k because you have x class honours. If you dont have any honours, maybe they pay you 3.2k. This is just an example.

Just for your info, the local university that government considers are NUS,NTU,SMU and SUTD for now. They will have the same pay range, in a scheme. Universities like uniSIM, SIM, SIT will have a different salary within the range but same scheme as the rest. So if you are worried about not being in the same scheme as your colleagues, dont worry. The only difference is just the starting pay

Interviewer offered to reply to me within one week because I have a pending offer. Is it a good sign since interviewer initially said they usually take two weeks to reply? The interview lasted less than 20 minutes by the way.

Hi, anybody apply for job(s) under CNB (Civilian). Would appreciate if anyone could share more on their processing time, from submission to interview. Thank you.

Hello! I took on a 2-year job role with a stat board, during interview and hiring process HR kept assuring me I will get converted to a perm role after 2 years. Joined and I realised the rest were on a 1 year contract and the new hr (old one left) told me that I would have to reapply as a new candidate to any posting I wanted at the end of 2 years. Shld I start looking out now? What a mess! Thanks!

Hi guys, I emailed the interviewer but was told that they will get back to me after shortlisting by end of the week. But when I see the status, it was changed to “Unsuccessful”. Means chance gone liao?

How long does G50 clearance take? It has been 1 month...i'm getting worried..is this considered normal timeline?

it can take up to several months especially if your workplace is of a highly sensitive nature and you are likely to access Confidential and above level documents during your work.
