I Applied on the NHS website, got interviewed and was put on reserve list. Never made it out of there even though other vacancies kept popping up for the same role. I applied online again for the same role and interviewed at Glasgow office. I was offered the position and completed my pre- employment checks. Received a random call that they cannot proceed due to a hiring freeze. I was not given a tangible reason why they could not proceed. Just terrible! I applied again and got another interview where I was informed that there was no hiring freeze and they were also not aware I was on a reserve list. It just seems like there is a huge disconnect in the organisation. This same position keeps being advertised yet people are on the reserve list. If you are offered a job here, better keep interviewing at other places and do not take their word for it.
