DWP Recruiting Again - 2012

Does anyone know how long it takes for interview feedback to be uploaded to cs jobs? Have phone HR they didn't know ... hate waiting.
They probably won't put interview scores on until everyone has either had their interview or rejection letter. It's out of your hands now so a case of just sitting back probably for at least the next 3 months. At least you have got that far I would just like to know if they want me or not as the case may be.0 -
It is quite possible I imagined the two fellas I was waiting with and chatting with for twenty minutes both said their interviews were at the same time as mine. It is also possible that we got called into a room with three tables too sign and organise our paperwork with three tables and three assistants to collate it all. It is also possible we then got called into three seperate interviewsat the same time. Surely with all the inconsistencies already exposed on this thread this really is a non issue? I can only speak for Essex and trying to second guess each regions interview processes would be really silly.
Too true. Anyway now you have had a night to sleep on it due you have any more ideas of how you think your interview went?

Or not. I finally got through to the recruitment line, the nice helpful person went to check with colleagues, took a while, said his reliable information is that the sift is ongoing (confirmed 61% cutoff - reported by A10 & someone else in earlier posts) and we should be receiving 'feedback' and interview invitations in the next few days. I asked what he meant by feedback, since my friends and acquaintances received interview invites without their competencies being evaluated. He said: your competencies will be marked. (from now on?).
So competencies have/are being marked in E London. Would imply that not everyone who gets 61%+ will automatically get an interview.0 -

I just don't think I was confident enough. And there was no opportunity to get the interviewers onside or show personality. I must have appeared as an over nervous idiot. On reflection, I think I describd three fairly strongly and two were weak. But they were constantly note taking, so, maybe they got nough.
Vwgirl I've been trying to find where I read "scores will be posted shortly after your interview online" but I can't find it anywhere. Let us know if you get yours.0 -

In my experience constant notetaking means very little.0 -

*sigh*. I should really stop speculating. It's futile until I've received my invite/rejection.
This really wasn't thought through well at all...0 -

That's what the person on the phone said. Difficult for me to reconcile with the fact that competencies will only be marked for a few, i.e. the ones who were not lucky enough to get the first few interview invites.???!!!0 -

Is it possible that folks HAVE been scored before being invited to interview, but those scores not fedback, I wonder...
I wonder quite a lot of things at the moment.
Still nothing from B&S/BC0
