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

I had 4 applications showing status of 'in process' but only two called me for interviews,one HT what's app me after I agreed. The other one was invitation for interview via email. Never encountered shortlisted status so far.

Thank you 🙏 may i know where to find the HR personnel's email to drop them a mail on this? The email didn't state any info.

I recently applied and was called up for an interview. The status was changed to "shortlisted""

if you received email about unsuccessful and the status on career@gov also unsuccessful, then its probably unsuccessful already.

Others who encountered the glitch, was after they had their interview though.

What does this means? I confirmed with HR previously if I'm the only one got offer and she mentioned yes and asked me to wait the process about 2 months patiently.
I feel that strange if I call and clarify but I afraid that in the end I did not get the final offer contract.
Then I have started rejecting interview invitations.

Don't worry too much about job ads such as on Linkedin, from what I know, most of these posts are automatically re-posted. Had a friend whose job position was still being advertised even after starting job.

For civil service/statboard, once they give verbal offer, their word is good! (unless u lied on your resume/failed medical and they found out) But the approval process may take a while depending on their internal processes.

If youre anxious, just drop them a call/email and ask them if there is any update update maybe 2 weeks? All the best!

The wait is killing me...

Close to 1 month since final interview. Followed up with HR after 2 wks and 3 wks gap. Based on HR reply, still pending decision from department.

Thinking if I should send another email after the 1 month mark.
Sighs

Hello guys. Been reading the past few posts and have came to a conclusion that the hiring timeline for all public service jobs are pretty lengthy.

I am a recent fresh grad, have applied for an entry level role with a SB sometime back in June. Went for a short case test and two interviews (one with HR and Hiring Manager) a week after which was complete radio silence.

Like any other fresh grad, I am also concurrently applying to other places and have recently accepted an offer with a bank. Just yesterday, the SB that I applied to drop me a call giving me a verbal offer. I told them that I have already moved forward with the bank. The HR individual started on how unprofessional I am for not informing them and how I costed the dept precious man hours.


My question? Will I be “blacklisted” from applying to this SB in the near future? I really hope to pivot in during my mid career.

I don't think so.. as long your next application the experience is relevant and fit the job description.. I think they will still call you for interview.. Im guessing that HR individual just venting out bah.. congrats by the way

Tks for the reassurance.

Venting is probably an understatement haha. She threw snide remarks like “tis attitude u won’t go far in the working world”

With everyone scrambling for jobs amidst the pandemic, I can’t possible bank all my chances on one job app. I don’t know why this HR lady had to throw me shade for it.

How did you even respond to her remarks? This HR quite unprofessional
