A degree in HR is a requirement....zero felixibility

Runsallday

They updated the requirements, that now desirable but not a requirement.

Is this still advertised?

Runsallday

Closing date is tomorrow

scullersky

Applied for this. Haven't heard anything back, aside from the confirmation email.

Anybody else hear anything?

NFC

I applied also and have heard nothing back yet either. It will be three weeks on Tuesday so hopefully we will hear back soon. I'm thinking it could be delayed as there was a week added onto the original application deadline. Good to have this thread to keep updated. Good luck.

TheRoyce

Just got a message on Publicjobs saying that they are shortlisting atm and we'll be contacted when they're done.

No real info.

Runsallday

No, it's moving very slowly. I imagine they received a lot of calls today and sent that message out to stem the tide. I would hope shortlisting has been ongoing a while

NFC

Hopefully we will know on the coming week or two. Great to have an update. I presume it will be an interview and presentation if successful following shortlisting.

TheRoyce

Received yet another message stating that shortlisting would continue for the time being. Hopefully by the end of August.

TheRoyce

Nearly the end of August and no noise on this one.

Anyone hear anything?

Probably Friday i'm thinking

greencatkin

Nothing yet! Anyone else heard anything

NFC

No, nothing yet. Hopefully it will be soon. How much notice do they normally give for interview does anyone know?

TheRoyce

Nothing yet.

Called this morning. Was eventually transferred to an answering machine.

No new information. Very dissapointing.

Must have been huge number of applicants

Runsallday

Surely today will be the day?

greencatkin

Still nothing... very disheartening

NFC

I was chatting to someone who applied for a role in June and he was only informed last week (two weeks notice for interview) so I am assuming there is a backlog, possibly because of summer etc. At this stage, I'm hoping it will be another few weeks as I've a lot of work events that have been planned with months!! Let's keep each other posted!

greencatkin

Got an email today. I wasn't successful. They are interviewing the top 49 candidates. I came 141! I think my application skills need some work!

Best of luck everyone

NFC

Sorry to hear you were unsuccessful. I was placed in group 2 (reserve panel) so not sure how this works. I would assume it could be months before you would be called, if ever, depending on requirements. Best wishes to everyone placed in group 1.

greencatkin

I wonder what that means, keep us posted! Congrats on getting placed and I hope you get called soon.

NFC

I believe they will call the reserve panel when, and if, vacancies arise. I may be called in 6 months or never called! Who knows! Not sure how it will work but I think the application said the panel is open until 2025. Not sure if anyone here got placed in group 1?

Stickmam

Has anyone interviewed for this yet? Just wondering what the process is? Presentation and interview or just interview? Thanks

jojosway

Any update on this from anyone. Had an interview a few weeks ago but radio silence since.

greencatkin

How was the interview? Did you have to do a presentation?

Coco2100

Interview & presentation completed almost a month ago too.

I haven’t heard anything since.

jojosway

Interview results out. I’m on the panel. Top 20. First time in this type of process. Do I just wait it out now? Assume it could take months/year to see top 20 movement.

jojosway

Anyone else receive their results from the interview?

Cat purple

Congratulations on passing the interview and being placed on the panel. I'm still waiting to be called for interview if it happens and would appreciate the heads up on the title of the presentation and any other tips you have to offer as a successful candidate. Well done.

greencatkin

Well done! That's fantastic news! Was the interview tough?

greencatkin

Has anyone applied for the senior HR panel at PO level?

Yes I did - I just got the holding mail in December.

greencatkin

Same! Hoping to hear something else soon!

Stickmam

Has anyone heard anything about another batch being called for AP HR? I heard on the grapevine that things might be moving again but nothing official.

Stickmam

Did anyone get called in Batch 2 - wondering where they are with this.

There were more interviews in March and a panel is now in place.

Not sure how much movement there is yet, anyone here in this batch and have they heard anything about assignments yet?

Whatdoyoumean

Does anybody have a sense of where this competition is at? I was placed in group 2 after shortlisting and believe they called up to 49 in the order of merit at the time. I believe there was a further batch since.

Stickmam

They called Batch 3 recently and interviews have been held and results issued. I don't know how far up they called though. They are already assigning people from the Batch 3 panel.

greencatkin

Hello there, PAS confirmed by email that they have called as far as OOM 94 for interview and are in the process of planning the next batch at the moment.
