PSNI Recruitment - Stage 1 - The Initial Selection Test

Johannes_Cabal

They do say the date is indicative and open to change so that would cover them being late by a few days or even a week, if it's any longer than that I'd imagine they'll let us know.

I'd guess they'll let us know tomorrow, can't imagine the would leave us over Christmas break.

Bustermoon

They did say we would hear before midnight ... The night is still young, even if we are all aging rapidly!! I'm keeping the faith it'll be tonight!!!

The last time I applied I forgot all about results day and got a nice little surprise of an email, this time it's torture checking every 15mins! Lol

Still nothing. They said at my IST that we should here for 17th and if we hadn't heard by 18th to give them a shout. Lol he's going to regret saying that!!!!

Yip. Fair to assume we won't get results today.

Their phone lines will be red hot in the morning.

You would think from 9am.

They will probably just say they will be out very shortly i.e. tomorrow.

They probably have been a bit delayed in getting all their ducks in a row. :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

Honestly at this part of the process results will come back late. C1 was awful at times until PSNI took over in the latter stages. Keep patient people and good luck

Homer01

My C1 IST email came out just after 7pm on the date.
C2 was just after 4:30pm.

Normally if they're going to be late they send an email telling you.

They said at mine it might take up to midnight to get results and to call if they aren't received. I'll definitely be disappointed if we don't hear tonight. It's a long drawn out process as it is without them not sticking to deadlines they set. Here goes another 1 hour and 40 mins of checking emails lol

I agree, I hadn't heard mention of a midnight deadline in any previous campaign so still have a very faint hope we might hear tonight!

Don't recall them mentioning midnight at mine, but maybe I missed them saying that.

He definitely said it because I can remember thinking it was very strange that it could be so late but just assumed they were covering all basis incase there was a delay getting them out during business hours.

D4z

Guy definitely said that the results would be out before midnight on the 17th... He lied.

hurdles123

He definitely said in my test also will be out before midnight of 17th.

Im sure there will be a lot of emails/phonecalls tomorrow.

OR

maybe all the passes are out and we are waiting for the Dear John :S

I can't imagine all passes are out and no one has mentioned their pass here. If someone is intending on calling tomorrow I hope they inform us here, I'd say they would be a nightmare to contact tomorrow.

I just want put out of my misery now. Poor show from Deloitte

hurdles123

Sorry it was a joke.

I won't be bothering to contact them. They will send them when they are ready. I doubt it'll make them speed up.

The guy at mine said they should be able to tell us over the phone if we hadn't received the email. Was the same guy who said they'd be out before midnight on the 17th so will take what he said with a pinch of salt lol

Would give Shield a quiet couple of months

The Rookie

Looks like today is the day we all find out.
Hopefully its good news and not Dear John...
In for another day of refreshing emails eh!

Homer01

I dropped them an email (may as well make them earn their money this Friday).

If I hear anything worthwhile I'll report back.

blue3790

Also dropped them an email at the crack of dawn this morning! Doubt I'll hear anything until at 9 at the earliest.

Shield

Best of luck with the results guys. Looking forward to seeing some very respectable scores.

Dont think I can take another day of refreshing my emails! Waiting (not so) patiently here..

Pmac773

Email sent also, is this what the waiting for each stage is like?? Hope the wait is going to lead to good news!

PCWannabe

I'm going to hold off on contacting them to see what they say to those who've emailed.

swl33t

I'm surprised they still use Deloitte, not the first time this has happened!

However, good luck all!

Has anyone had their phone call answered by Deloitte?

I just said to my other half there I wasn't even going to attempt to call because I imagine everyone will be ringing. Hopefully we get answers soon. Can't be that hard to send a batch email telling people results are delayed if that's the case

I agree. The way they have funneled expectations into everyone finding out yesterday has created pointless anxiety for all involved, however sitting in a phone queue will make it worse, not better. Try and ignore your emails until lunch then re-visit.

Gee-22

Morning all.

Missed deadlines and endless waiting.

Sure it all adds to the craic.

I would like to think they are penalised in some way for missing these deadlines.

Really not that surprised though.

I'm sure they probably have something in the small print that allows for over running deadlines and keeps themselves covered.

I would say recruitment are shutting up shop for the holidays now.

Won't make a lot of difference to them until the New Year I wouldn't think.

Tbh I've found them less than helpful in previous campaigns so doubt they care

Karakurt12

Just off the phone with Deloitte. According to the girl who answered the 17th was an "indicative" date meant as a guide and should not have been taken literally and they hope to have results out before 5pm today. Yet another day checking emails every 15 minutes lol

Ha. Certainly was explained as an indicative date on test days.

Sounds like back tracking.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thats what i said to the girl on the phone. Also explained that the guy had very specifically said that if we hadnt heard by 5pm on the 17th then by all means phone on the 18th. But Deloitte being Deloitte that was quickly swept under the rug.

I can imagine.

Would be easier just to say "we are running a bit behind, but results will be sent today. Sorry".

Exactly. Just own up to the fact you're running behind and send an email to tell people so they're not all sitting thinking they havent made it.

Gee-22

Just got my email.

Failed by 3 marks.

Good luck to all that pass.

Typhoonf2

Failed by 1 mark.... Oh well always next time
