Has anyone got a contact number for recruitment they can provide to me?

I had a interview on the 16th and then received a email on the 23rd stating that I have passed my assessment and will hear from them in a few days. However I have had no contact.

Congrats to all.

I have my Interview on Tuesday, any tips you can give would be helpful.

Did you all have your interviews at Shaw Hill Golf Club?

Did you have to wear suits or just smart casual?

Any help will be appreciated. Twitchy bum time. :nervous

hi doctorb yes my interview was at shaw hill golf club and i went for smart casual - shirt and tie the other 2 lads being interviewed just had shirts on. Make sure your paperwork is all photocopied and you have everything on the checklist as you wont be interviewed without it! Dont be nervous they dont seem to be trying to trip you up or catch you out they are just going off a script which i think we have covered already - teamwork etc and you can use one example in more than one answer, in fact for one of mine he just said youve already covered this in another question and just moved on! quick question about health and safety and then giving some details about the job making sure its right for you. Then you just fill out a uniform sheet - what sizes you are etc and your away! the only thing that i wasnt ready for was 2 other people being interviewed at the same time but once you get in to it you forget all about it. Good luck an let us know how you get on!

I didn't fill out a uniform sheet, hope that's not a bad sign! haa

Did anyone out there that didn't fill out a uniform sheet pass your interview?
I had my interview today and didnt have to fill out a uniform sheet, I asked the chap who interviewed me about it and he said it would be sorted during inductions, he just said to keep an eye out on email and txt for any response from Royal Mail and check online progress also. He said it could take up to 2 weeks. Jobs will be starting in September.

Yeah it went ok apart from when he asked me about any spent convictions. On the online questionnaire it only asked for info over the last five years but he asked about any previous convictions so I told him I was done for drink driving in 1991 and he wrote it down on the question sheet, that will go to HR and they will probably just chuck my application in the bin. My own fault I should have said nowt. Oh well it won't show on the criminal background checks so I might still have a chance. Another lad who was there didn't have to fill in the uniform sheet either so I guess they changed the process for the inductions to save on paperwork.
Have you had your induction date yet?

I had an interview Tuesday and they said it could take up to two weeks before you hear anything. I'm waiting for emails and txts and checking the online progress for the next fortnight, good luck.
