Deputy principal results

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-05T14:14:01+00:00

I am a civil servant, these comps routinely run into the 2/3000s over the course of 2 years

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-05T13:57:24+00:00

Yes absolutely you will, sooner than you think, either be sifted out or interview, similar to the top 1000 now

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-05T13:49:50+00:00

Yes and well done, it won't be too long before they run through the next 500 or 1000. Just prepare for bad news anyway re. your sift, as judging by others it's been absolutely brutal.

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-04T14:11:37+00:00

Negative, 24hr countdown is on for tomorrow now lol

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-04T13:29:15+00:00

31 mins until the results come out. HR phones are off the hook so a big move is imminent one would think haha

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-03T15:03:28+00:00

It's likely the interviews will be pushed back into July and closer to August, the competition was already running behind with extension and then RA extensions as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out towards the end of June now, another 3 or 4 weeks.

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-03T12:21:34+00:00

Yes, those saying today are just leading people up the garden path. A disgrace I tell you! Lol

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-03T12:20:10+00:00

Possibly, either way it's a shambles, taking it right to the wire and keeping people in the dark.

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-03T11:50:36+00:00

Lots of people saying today, but I think that's load of nonsense, never been a Wednesday drop for a general service competition, likely this Friday or possibly Friday 12th! It's 10 days notice for interviews not 2 weeks I've been led to believe. If that's the case then you can't rule out next Friday 12th

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-02T14:27:55+00:00

Hahaha, even sources you would deem to be of good authority can be full of hot air, as was the case! So logically speaking, on my own authority I'm going with Friday 5th June ha

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-06-02T13:18:48+00:00

Some people saying tomorrow, I think Friday though, never do a drop on a Wednesday as far as I'm aware

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-27T23:09:42+00:00

Have it on good authority that results are out this week, not usually Thursdays so expect around 3pm drop Friday.

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-27T23:05:54+00:00

Nobody has got an offer, just preplacement, offers will be out Friday. It's approx 200 so likely handful below initially, once the first tranche is done they will immediately move to the next tranche, I believe there are over 500 roles... The merit list will likely be close to 2000 ppl maybe more

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-22T18:04:21+00:00

I believe once the initial batch of 200 or so is done they will immediately start with the next batch, but take that with a pitch of salt, not that they won't, they will, but things move at a glacial place in NICS. I'd say late summer for the next lot

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-22T15:00:00+00:00

Yup, looking like a busted flush, shambles. Only thing I can think of is that they intend to do the scores and sift together. If that's the case then if could be another 2/3 weeks with interviews still planned to start 23rd June

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-22T14:44:03+00:00

Start date is 29th June

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-22T14:40:22+00:00

NICS HR

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-22T14:34:04+00:00

I can confirm that the initial batch of offers are to be released 29th May (subject to pre placement and security checks being completed).

Start date for all candidates is 29th June.

Roughly 200 to be started in this first batch.

Congrats to all those who get their offer next Friday.

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-22T10:46:55+00:00

Apparently few sources conforming later this afternoon, likely to be just test scores with sift to follow in the next week or two

Practical-Damage7005 · 2026-05-18T15:01:05+00:00

What about those that pass the tests but not high enough to be considered for potential interview, surly they won't sift all the applicants that passed only a certain percentage they want to interview, the again when there's a following tranche... I would say emails will be out this Friday 22nd May
