Usually once a job has been offered it’s subject to various checks and references coming in. Once that has happened and it’s been accepted they let the other candidates know that they weren’t successful. This can take a few days to a week. |

The last job I applied for, I emailed them after 2 weeks, nothing, got a friend who works there to email the week after, and was told I didn't get it. But it took an entire month for the official email to come through. That wait was horrendous. |

Thanks, my contract with HS2 expired last Friday, great timing huh?!
And so I'm waiting on this new contract as a start, and still applying for other positions until I hear something positive 
Fortunately I have a little put away to tide me over, but I hate being unemployed  |

For us it's waiting on the powers that be to agree salaries, waiting for DBS checks, references etc. It can be just as frustrating as the hiring manager who wants to know who and what is happening in their department and if we have enough people at the right time. |
