Fair enough, our experience differs.Well from my experience they do for example northern an internal candidate will be interviewed take tests and start the driving course before an external candidate
That's the first time we've heard a positive reply!I think they are now processing York applicants. I received an email asking for my national insurance number so assume my application is being looked at now.
Not sure its positive, its probably just a sign they're now looking at the York applicants as I've heard no form of update from any York or Scarborough applications, probably due to the volume...That's the first time we've heard a positive reply!
At least its moving.
Not heard anyone be asked for further details, though I'm sure I was asked in the initial application.Not sure its positive, its probably just a sign they're now looking at the York applicants as I've heard no form of update from any York or Scarborough applications, probably due to the volume...

It's the first email that's not been a rejection in a few days
True. I've been seeing the rejections coming through and im waiting for my turn. A bit negative but I appreciate you have to be in it to win it despite the high rejection rate so there's always hope.Not heard anyone be asked for further details, though I'm sure I was asked in the initial application.

The only thing I've noticed is that no-one from York or Scarborough have heard anything.
Indeed, it's the hope that kills you!True. I've been seeing the rejections coming through and im waiting for my turn. A bit negative but I appreciate you have to be in it to win it despite the high rejection rate so there's always hope.

I haven’t had this email from York. That may be a positive that you have. Might be double checking N.I before sending out an email for the next phase ♂️We should be put out of our misery soon then.
I got it mid afternoon so they could be in the process of sending out the requests, so you may get one tomorrow.I haven’t had this email from York. That may be a positive that you have. Might be double checking N.I before sending out an email for the next phase ♂️

Did you have to submit two separate applications for the two depots?Not sure its positive, its probably just a sign they're now looking at the York applicants as I've heard no form of update from any York or Scarborough applications, probably due to the volume...

No, the online application just stated York.Did you have to submit two separate applications for the two depots?

I'm sure I had to put my NI number on my original application.
I couldn't remember if I had to. I'm assuming if I didn't put it in my application then I would have been instantly rejected.I'm sure I had to put my NI number on my original application.

Dates look to be in a few weeks time. I'm at work so I cant check properly. I appreciate these spots get eaten up but I need to make sure im free
I think the AI interview is a big thing for this recruitment drive.
I sailed through everything last time round with TPE, have full enhanced psychometrics and have passed the error checking every time I’ve done it (4 times in my ‘applying career’) doing about 38 out of 50 each time, but just had my rejection. Piccadilly depot.
