DWP Recruiting Again - 2012

I got over 80% - hopefully I'm one of the 100. Not holding out much hope as I've never done a competency based application before Spent ages (as in days!) writing and re-writing them too!

Yeah me too I spent days writing my competencies, they were hard! I don't think we'll get any feedback until next week now!

Bit of info - Manchester sifting has started, they just finished sifting those who scored over 80%but only just over 100 people out of 600 got through! Not sounding great!

Hi Sezzy 2417 - thanks for this info, very useful as I have applied for manchester. BTW how do you know this info - has the helpline given it out or do you work /know someone who works there? And do you know how many they want to interview or when they will be sending notifications out?

Hi, new to this thread, just wanted to say I have just called shared services as I am concerned about the 80% pass mark, the advisor informed me if I haven't received a rejection email then I have effectively passed first sift, in fact when I mentioned 80% I was informed if that was the case the majority of applicants would not have passed. I have been advised my 71% is more than enough, be at least another week for competencies to be sifted.

Someone at my work knows a person who works there; no idea how many people they will be interviewing but I'm hoping they let us know soon!

If it weren't for this forum, I'd be assuming by now that they'd binned my application without telling me I'd got nowhere. Perhaps patience isn't one of my finer qualities: I'd feel better if anyone external in the Birmingham & Solihull areas had started to hear a whiff of much at all.

I guess I should reasonably expect to hear either next week, or the week after. Crumbs!

Still no change in my online status - East London.. sigh

Does anyone know if they'll let everyone know at the same time?

I'm a little worried because I applied for Manchester and scored over 80% on the test and I haven't heard anything yet.

Both my applications are showing under review

I did hear that the sifting deadline has been pushed back to the 16th not sure if that is just for Kent though

Nothing in Leicestershire/Northamptonshire (East Mids) or Rugby/Warwickshire (West Mids) either.
