  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,248 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    Dublin City I think

    Anyone heard anything from this other than the automatic response?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,706 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Will be an automatic response for a while considering the volume.
    Once interviews are scheduled people will start getting contacted then

    It's going to be on the Burlington Road which is behind The Mespil Hotel.

    Expensive location for a Call Centre I would have thought.

    Applied last week,nothing back so far bar the auto response.

    I did the quiz they suggested you do and I scored pretty badly on it too!

    Probably not as expensive as it was in the past

    AFAIK the block they're going in has been empty for 2/3 years so I'd say the rates have dropped. Also the block they're going into has a sister block beside it and there has been a few fitouts there recently. So, obviously rates have dropped.

    Anyone got interview yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭UMMMM


    I was also wondering had anybody heard back yet ?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,706 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Some people have been phone interviewed..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 604 ✭✭✭tempura


    Applied over two weeks ago and have heard nothing back as yet.

    Have actually just done a count on my job applications since beginning of january. Out of 280 applications I have had one interview and about 12 replys of pending/maybes :( Its a bit depressing to be honest. Applied for great job about five mins ago, god i would love the job, its perfect. Now have to try and spend the rest of the day trying not to think about it.

    Just have to keep on with the applications i guess.

    Got this today:


    First of all, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has applied to join us here in Dublin. Sky specifically chose Dublin for our newest Service & Sales Centre as we knew there were people here with the range of skills we’re looking for – and we haven’t been disappointed. We’re really pleased to have heard from so many great people.

    We’ve had a fantastic response for all of our roles including people looking for Sales Advisor positions. As soon as we have most of the Management & Support teams in place which we are currently working on we will then be in a position to contact all of you who have applied for an advisor role so if you haven’t heard from us already please be patient – we’ll be in touch as soon as we can.

    Please note, we need you to complete in full the online assessment, if this is not completed unfortunately we will be unable to progress your application any further.

    Okay so I am still in with a chance applying for a team lead role and haven't recieved any go aways or that yet .

    I wonder if the response had been huge?

    Also tempura keep the chin up. I know you might being feeling rejected but what I would think if you have applied for 280 roles since January are you just applying for the sake of it or are you looking at the skills the employer wants.
