Recruiting but no vacancies

Hey Folks,

Recently applied for a Service Patrol position and got through all the stages. Nailed the assessment day and was really happy with how I performed.

The day after my interview I got an email congratulating me and it said I had passed... However... It also said at this time we do not have a vacancy in your area so cannot formally offer me a role.

Now, is this normal practice? The thing that gets me is that the area is still being advertised for. How long should I expect to wait?

I was (and still am) really excited about starting so hope it won't be too long.

Thanks.

Probably in the bank for next round of starters, dont quit any job you may be in now tho

Hope so, they did mention something about 'Bank' when I queried it.

And don't worry, don't have any plans to quit my current job just yet

Well looks like I am still waiting.

Contacted recruitment a few times but just get the standard 'as soon as a position becomes available HR will be in touch'.

I know it's a waiting game. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks.

Just sit tight and if something else / better comes up don't knock it back.
You could get an offer next week or year who knows

As already said its a waiting game now could be tomorrow could be months just hang in there although calling once in a while doesn't do any harm imo
It will be worth it in the end mate

This is the open area not the secure area.
