Sorry for the typo, I meant at which stage they inform you were rejected? Is it straight after the 2nd interview or it was a few weeks after the 2nd interview?

Thank you.

My reference checks was done after my second interview, but the wait is rlly torturous

May I ask if you managed to get the offer or are you pending them to get back to you?

Took about 3 months after 2nd interview to get verbal offer, and recently signed the offer for a perm role in a ministry. The wait was quite a while but I checked back with my HR contact every few weeks or so for updates, I think there's no harm touching base with them once in a while.

I got the rejection email like more than 3 months after my 2nd interview 😂

I'm still pending an offer

Hi!

Could anyone advise what's the next step after hr emailed to make a provisional offer? is reference checks cleared?

offer is a 1y contract. extension of contracts or convert to perm depends on performance and availability of position. is it common?

Hi, i applied for a role in CSC and went through the 2nd interviews with the team. What are the odds of me landing the job?

I have a peer that got cleared in 1 month time recently. SB under MHA. It seems weird why there is such a big difference in security clearance timeline. Is yours defence related?
