cos it shows you're someone who isn't very committed....

do you know how much hr does to hire just 1 candidate for a one year contract??? not a secret that the processing time takes damn long, especially for sensitive positions. they're probably looking for someone who wouldn't quit so fast.

I think that's a pretty old thinking though. It's very common for job mismatch nowadays and previous jobs I have been with companies for many years. This is also the first time I decided to leave within a short span

Hey there! Thank you so much for sharing!

HR did not tell me which category. Any idea what are the different categories? I was told that reference and background checks have been completed but might have delay because of the system. I am also reassured along the way but still really paranoid since it is nearing the end of year too.

Thanks!

The recruitment did not update on a frequent basis however, I did contact them twice during the 8 weeks clearance period (kind of paranoid, excited and to get confirmation).

However, during the verbal offer, after the interview, the HR did reassure me that this offer is all set and will be onboarded as long as there isn't any issues with the clearance (heard most of the time will be cleared).

Did HR told you that you are pending clearance? If so, what Cat clearance would it be? The higher the clearance level, the longer it will take depending on individual (up to 6 months)

All the best!

Hi can anyone help me on this, I applied for DEI (SPF) n hav been waitin for an official offer from them but so far I have not heard back from them since the last interview. How long do they take to finish and process the approval before officially notifying me of e offer? TIA!

How long was this ago?

Have u done any interview/test/fill out forms...etc?

Was verbally offered three weeks ago but currently still pending checks. Anyone faced this before? I am worried there might be a change in org priorities and there might be a possibility of my contract being rescinded.

OP here. Guess the type of clearance category got to be associated with the project/team you are gonna be involve with. The higher the category, the more sensitive it is.
Did HR instruct yo fill up any G50 form? (clearance form)

I feel exactly the same as you were previously. But if HR has given u reassurance, I would say 99% it would be successful. It is typical for them to have a long processing time.

I would say just enjoy your remaining period in your current organization (if you have yet to tender), else just take it as a small holiday and enjoy before embarking on your new career. All the best and hope the official offer come soon!
