Dear Candidate

Thank you for applying for the Operative position in Doncaster. This has been on hold for some time due to Covid. However, we plan to recommence recruitment shortly.

I appreciate it has been a while since your application, can I ask that if you are no longer interested that you withdraw or let me know and I will withdraw on your behalf.

If you could do this by the end of the week, that would be great.

Kind regards

I think reading on here how many times people have applied previously it wouldn’t do you any good getting your hopes up lol this is my first application so we will see how it goes. Are you currently working on the railway or waiting to hear something too?

Do you mind me asking what it is you do? I have applied for an OLE operative in Doncaster. I have worked in distribution and logistics for the last 18 years so it is a complete career path change.

[jayimmediata]

Nothing here unfortunately

 

[Shep19]

Still nothing from me

 

[wardy365]

I've gone for the Ipswich one too. Not heard anything for ages though

Mines saying with hiring manager for selection but it’s been on that for a few weeks now

 

[Shep19]

Is 3weeks a long time not to hear anything after an interview?

 

[Daveyboy2407]

I suppose you could of been one of the first in and if they are interviewing 8 people then maybe not. Have you phoned the recruitment dept.?

 

[djv]

sorry to jump on post I have 16 years experience GSM and I cant even get a position in Norwich 3 interviews my latest interview came up quite quick
also is there D&A testing in Norfolk

 

[NPB1131]

Is 3weeks a long time not to hear anything after an interview?

I'd say so yeah mate. Never been any longer than a week for me in previous interviews...suppose as they say; no news is good news!

I had my medical last Thursday - just waiting on my D&A results then should receive my start date!

 

[Shep19]

Great news for you! Bet you can’t wait to start, 3weeks does seem pretty long to me, surely they would tell me by now if I was unsuccessful? Who knows! Good luck with it all mate.

 

[Shep19]

Update from HR the role I applied is being held up by the union and they said another 2-3weeks

Hopefully you will hear something then I guess

 

[TheOne1990]

Mine just says invite to assesment 2 pending, but not had an email sent to me this time. Hopefully things are speeding up now, hopefully it means I’m through to the hiring manager for potential interview!

 

[Shep19]

I’ve still heard nothing, over a month after interview, recruitment did say the job is held by the unions and waiting for the green light from them? Anyone else had this?

 

[Chrisy89]

Any update ? That’s my first week by at nwr as operative off track, really enjoying learning new skills , good luck and hopefully hear soon

 

[TheOne1990]

Got my interview in a couple of weeks, glad your enjoying it. Did it take long to get a start date after you were successful?
