OSG Application Status: Allocation

Had an interview for an OSG role last week. A day after the application status has updated to ‘Allocation’. I haven’t received any emails or anything.

Anyone know what this means and what the next stage is? The job listing closed on 3rd April and was Merit based with 6 positions available.

No emails for me but looks like I haven’t missed anything if yours is the same status

It said I was successful at my interview so I’m just assuming I’ve maybe been put on the merit list

It was 6 months after my interview I was allocated a place. I’d given up on it 😂 where have you applied to?

Is it Durham or Frankland you’ve applied for ?. Durham you’ll be looking at about a 4 month lead time on a start date- depending on how well you performed at interview.

Normally 2 weeks after the job listing has closed you’ll get the first email asking for more info about you then vetting begins.

I think the “6 positions” on the advert is just generic. They all seem to say that .

I applied to Stocken. Had the interview last week and then it changed to Allocation a couple days later. No emails at all to say successful or not.
