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

i think u meant pre-employment screening as in the G50 screening?
or u including both the G50 and health screening

G50 --> depend on nature of your potential organisation, could take minimum 4-6 weeks?
no one has definite answer to the exact timeline, it's all ball park estimates 'cause the G50 screening remains shrouded in mystery tbh on what they screen

health screening --> assuming by then u 1/2 foot into the organisation, normal procedure to do health screening at the pre-assigned clinic to make sure u body parts bor daiji and can carry duties lor..so far quite rare to hear (though not say no have) retracting of job offers due to failed medical.

hi guys, i got offered a 2 year contract with ministry but the hiring manager told me, for this position likely no promotions even if i perform very well. Im currently comfortable at this level and okay if got no promotions, since havent hit ceiling yet. Lets say if i change my mind and want a transfer, how easy is it to jump to a higher designation or mx grade?

tbh no one can give u definite answer that it is easy / difficult to jump as things may change a few years down stream

u shd ask the hiring agency if there's any chance for emplacement if performance is good?
if its instance of finishing 2-year contract but no prospect of conversion to perm staff,

depends on what u r looking for
either take it first but continue to look for better opportunities
or totally don't take and stay put with present role for time being.

None of your business

Hi, I joined one of the ministry in September 2023 under as permanent staff with one year of probation. Roughly when will we be notified if we have successfully passed the probation?

Just a title. Degree doesn't mean Anything if they sense he got no experience

Ultimately u just want a degree salary, and doesn't mind too much of the title
