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

Runsallday · 25-06-2023 8:51pm

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

scullersky · 25-06-2023 8:58pm

Is this still advertised?

Runsallday · 25-06-2023 9:51pm

Closing date is tomorrow

Just spotted that...wonder if they will shortlist based on application form

scullersky · 26-06-2023 12:19am

Where is it advertised ? Didn't see it on public jobs

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

Anybody else hear anything?

NFC · 14-07-2023 4:38pm

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 · 24-07-2023 5:15pm

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 · 24-07-2023 5:53pm

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 · 25-07-2023 3:35pm

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 · 10-08-2023 1:09pm

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

TheRoyce · 30-08-2023 5:55pm

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

Anyone hear anything?

Probably Friday i'm thinking

greencatkin · 02-09-2023 8:46am

Nothing yet! Anyone else heard anything

NFC · 02-09-2023 9:29pm

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

TheRoyce · 11-09-2023 10:43am

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 · 15-09-2023 1:04pm

Surely today will be the day?

greencatkin · 15-09-2023 6:08pm

Still nothing... very disheartening

NFC · 16-09-2023 11:39am

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 · 18-09-2023 5:04pm

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 · 18-09-2023 7:58pm

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 · 19-09-2023 7:24am

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

NFC · 19-09-2023 7:14pm

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 · 17-10-2023 1:03pm

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

jojosway · 25-10-2023 6:28pm

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

greencatkin · 29-10-2023 8:50pm

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

Coco2100 · 05-11-2023 7:30am

Interview & presentation completed almost a month ago too.

I haven’t heard anything since.
