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

this month shd be down-time/slower becos folks clearing leaf?

and if they haven't give any notification, technically u r still in contention?

Yea. Even if HR not on leave, management also on leave. Chill and wait. In Apr sure got many agency play musical chairs.

Thanks for the advice given. I guess because the panel who interviewed me told me that I can expect to hear from them in two weeks time if the application is successful which is why I was wondering if I should follow up with the HR. But I will heed the advice and wait.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I was anxious because I was told I will be contacted if my application is successful in 2 weeks and yet I haven't heard from them. In any case I was also wondering if it was unsuccessful at least a system generated email from careers@gov should be sent to them. But thanks I will wait. Sorry what do you mean by musical chairs? Don't quite understand that reference. HAHA

In addition to the above posts, I also saw the job position reposted on careers@gov the same week I had my interview so I guess i got anxious. But thanks both for the advice.

rightfully if you have gone as far as interview stage, they ought to notify u with the outcome in writing (be it via email reply from the HR/HC point of contact from that agency/SB) or via the careers@gov one

i have experience own scenario whereby aft gg interview end Sept
no sound no news from the HR manazer (temp staff btw)
end up write to him a few days ago, his email address uplorry aka no longer with the said SB

die lor
have to find another way to get the SB to churn out the rejection whh i suspect it wasn't properly follow up to close loop with me and instead give me cliffhanger with no proper closure aka ghosting.
