Does anyone know of anyone who joined Direct entry inspector as a mid-careerist? Not shy to say I am 40 and after years of working and overseas, I want to do something much more meaningful for the country.
Hi, came across your post, may i know so did you applied for the post and working in ICA now?

hii, how was ur timeline? have done document checklist and medical too?
Hiii! 😊 Yes, my document submission was on 25/10, and medical was on 1/11. I applied on 11/9, and the phone interview was on 1/10. Each stage was about 1-2 weeks apart. Now it’s just the waiting game! How about you? How’s everything going on your end?

Hey! I'm still waiting on an offer.
Hey guys, I'm also waiting on an offer now. I'll write down my timeline below.

30 Aug 24 - Attended ICA fair (Did pre-HR interview)
24 Sept 24 - Completed Online tests
08 Oct 24 - Panel Interview + Document submission
18 Oct 24 - Medical Checkup (Was earlier, same week of interview, but I postponed it because I was sick)

Pretty straightforward. The latest i heard from HR last week, they mentioned that it will still take another 6-8 weeks before they'll reply me and if we do get the offer, our training will begin in 2025. Fingers crossed for all those who applied!

Hello! I went for my ICA DEI medical checkup on 9 June after my panel interview. So far I'm still waiting for the outcome. Was told by ICA HR to wait for 2-3 more weeks on 23 June. Followed up with them this week and they told me to wait for a further 1-2 weeks for the outcome due to administrative processes. Any idea if others have experience this timeline for the recruitment process please?

Hi, I am on DEI application as well. Went for the medical checkup late last month. Still waiting for the outcome. How about you? received any updates already?
