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

After two weeks, HR requested for additional info and was told to get back on the appointment asap. Last I checked in late Feb, they mentioned due to unforseen reason there is a delay in the appointment process. Will target to get back asap.

Till now, I have yet to hear from them about offer. So does it mean my application is unsuccessful or I'm not their top choice? Should I continue to wait?

i think u can call if it has been 2 weeks or more. that was what I did

So did you get the job when you called them up?

Nope never mention. Just the usual reply to get back to me asap on the appointment.

I guess I did not manage to secure the job. Anyway, will drop an email again to check on the status.

Anyone applied for Patent Examiner post at IPOS and got notified of interview yet?

yes i did. now waiting to start soon. i think during this period they are pretty busy

perhaps you can ask them what's the issue?

How long does LTA takes to inform us of second interview?

I had the informal interview and was told to wait 3-4weeks if I am shortlisted.

I also had an interview at a ministry, the HR told me will get back to me in 1-2 weeks time. But this is directly a panel interview with the director and DD.


Lastly, if an offer is given, what is the typical timeline thereafter? Reason is I want to get out of my current workplace because there is really no more growth for me here. I am still holding a diploma job with a degree here.

Usually within 1 to 2 wks after the informal interview
