sorry Elessar I just want to clarify: did they actually tell you you were successful in the 1st round interview and would get a second round interview?

Yes, why?

Coddlemonster

I was just wondering because I did a first round interview last week and haven't heard anything back....

I felt I did a good interview, I was well prepared and got some positive noises from the interviewer so I was surprised to see you got called the very next day!

Also i know that they checked out my references.

Elessar

I was told it will be next week before I get the details of the second round. Might be the same for you.

Coddlemonster

ok thanks... the old head goes into overdrive in these situations!:eek:

Elessar

I spoke too soon, just got the call there, second round on Tuesday in T2!

Recruitment told me to expect it to be more intense. It's a two panel job.

*gulp*

Am I being negative by thinking that if I have not been called by now Im not getting called ?

I haven't been called for an interview but also haven't recieved an email saying my application was unsuccessful. They said all applicants would be notified either way so I don't really know how to interperet this. maybe they are working there way through applications. Zelda, did you apply for more than than one position? If so did the email refer to only a certain position or your application in general?

I haven't heard anything since the confirmation mail for the online test.
I'm pretty sure at this stage the answer is 'thanks, but no thanks' but it would be nice to be told one way or the other.

I don't like how they use the term 'exciting opportunities' to describe what you have just missed out on. Opportunities alone might have sufficed. It's a bit like somebody telling you at a barbeque; "sorry mate, but all of the really tasty sausages have already been eaten"

No need.

Ive still heard nothing. Best of luck to everyone that has been called for interview..

Well I still have not heard anything as well.............. :rolleyes: (don’t mind got work );)

I think the Feck off no thanks e-mail is very inconsiderate to be honest. I was a little shocked reading it... are they for real! All (I have loads) I got are very sensitive to the fact ur looking for work. I think personally it inappropriate:eek:

I think they were not prepared for the recruitment as anyone I have spoken to that’s hiring is well prepared for the large amount of applicants. They should have replied by now to all applicants considering they are on round 2 of interviews.
Not very professional of The Flexsource Solutions Resourcing Team. :mad:

To all those that got called well done and best of luck!!:D
To all those they have not bothered to reply to (and it’s a little late now considering all their e-mail's of prompt response....:mad:) best of luck in your future job search:D

the_big_kahuna

I maybe wrong but because we haven't received a "No thanks" email, does not mean we will not get an interview!

With the amount of applications they received, it only makes sense that they are working through the applications and getting them in for interview as they go along. It would take too long to go through all applications, then have a list of people and start doing interviews. So people getting to round 2 now and people not hearing yet shouldn't make a difference! It's a long process!!

Here's still hoping! :cool:

Sorry for only getting back to you now. I just applied for one position. I got the same email as has been put up here (yeah bit of a kick in the teeth to say the whole "exciting opportunities"). The only thing I can think of is maybe there is those who failed outright, those who passed outright, and maybe those who are bordering, so they are combing through the cvs now to see who to bring for interview maybe. I hope you all get good news.

:eek:Hi All,

I personally think If you have not heard by now (including me!) =Tis over

I hope I am proved wrong...........:D

I e-mailed them today for the crack and this is what I got back:

---

Dear,

Thank you for your mail. We will be in touch in due course in relation to the prove it test results.

Kind Regards,

Flexsource DAA Resource Team

---

They never even bothered putting in a name. Well I laughed:D If it was an automatic reply........... Surely they could manage dear sir / madam.


I honestly have to say they don’t inspire me with their professionalism...:cool:

All jobs advertised at the moment get a massive amount of applicants. It would be naive to think that DAA jobs wouldn’t and I think the recruitment process has been very poor with replies to applicants.
(Considering initial promise- 2 day turn around) – Not a quality service

I was surprised they didn’t get more applicants for these jobs. Any job advertised now is getting over 100 cv’s.

Good news for anyone who is still waiting to find out if they have gotten to the first interview stage.A friend of mine who works for cpl recruitment, has told me they are still going over the PROVE IT online test results.
So if you haven't heard anything from them yet about your test results,don't panic as there is still the possibility that you will get an opportunity of a first interview.

wonder how many irish will get these jobs,irish wont work for the low wages that they will be paying,non nationals will because they can draw social welfare as well-irish cannot draw social welfare as well-thats thats the difference

How can non nationals claim social welfare as well as work at t2?

I think it may be one of them there generalisations that some people come out with every so often. Irish people have applied for this job, some were successful, some not. If somebody wants to live over here from another country and work legitimately and provide a good service, more power to them.

100% agree with you.

Applied to the Graduate Program ages ago, had pretty much forgotten about it, but got an email today saying to complete the online aptitude test and if successful I would be called for group screening in August. Don't lose hope yet!

From http://terminal2jobs.jobsmarket.ie/WhatIsApplicationProcess.aspx

You will be notified within 3 working days as to whether or not you have been successful in your CMS evaluation. If successful you will be contacted via phone or email to invite you to a first round interview with Flexsource Solutions. This interview will be scheduled for a time within the following two weeks.

Useless beggers :rolleyes:

Interestingly and perhaps another sign of 'unprofessionalism' on the part of Flexsource, the initial email that I received which thanked me for my application also displayed hundreds of other email addresses that the same email was forwarded to. I noticed that the vast majority of the addresses were most likely from Irish applicants.

Secondly, €11.50 per hour is actually a very good rate of pay in comparison to similiar positions which require the same sort of skill levels or experience and I think that there are so many Irish Nationals out there that would be delighted with almost 24k and a secure, pensionable job with promotion oppurtunities to go with it. It is also obviously very accessible to public transport for people coming from a wide area.

Hi Everyone

Have my 2nd round interview with 2 panel from DAA tomorrow in T2.

Has anyone had their 2nd round yet?

How did it go?
How long did it last?
Was it intense? Any random questions you did not expect?
What were the interviewers like? Pleasent or ?
