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

and usually M / SB don't offer perm immediately
will dovetail it under Contract but you get the full array of full time benefits (ie PB etc)
and if u dont screw things up, likely will auto extend (some form of paper exercise) and when the estab head count appears, emplace u lor

fixed terms contract basically also has fixed duration 1 year usually
and may be renewed at discretion of M or SB
but caveat is no pay increment
no PB
and there's cap on the number of times the M or SB can sign u contractually (base on my own experience was 3 contracts)
and usually should have been 1 + 1 + 1 year max
my former SB give me a 1 + 1 + 2
but also let go after 4 years up and no head count (more than 1/2 of the 4 years were during covid time)

Mine within a week after asking referral the HR contacted and my referee replied on even day. Till now no news. 1 week already.

Referee is to check your work ethic? What is the use of referral check with ex company? Verify employment or conduct? Left on less than favourable terms with some employers so not sure they will check with ex supervisor or HR level checks.
