I think if anything it will boost recruitment. One of the reasons stated all the time for not running services was that they didn't have the bodies. I think the first thing the gov will say is "Why are you not on a big recruitment drive? Let's get these trains moving!".
Basically the same for me. It's an unusual process and it's not really explained properly. I mean most jobs you interview and then start work a few weeks later. Lot of patience required.
I would say just be very patient and check in from time to time without being a nuisance. My whole application from start to commencing work was 18 months. There are different factors involved. Just keep jumping through the hoops when required and keep the faith.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
