Those of us who were in yesterday and Thursday, did anybody remember to ask how soon we can hear back or when they expect to start?

Usual questions forget to ask until left the room!

Hey,congrats on the interview!!! What were the questions in the interview like? Anything tricky come up?

From what I remember from the begining of the process the roles were to commence in August or September. I could be wrong though.

Same as that . . forgot to ask before I left the room when we would hear back on the interview . . did anyone ask or anyone have any idea when we might hear from them?

Thanks. Nothing tricky, interview was based on the three scenarios that you submitted in your application form. Lovely people interviewing.

Does anyone know how many positions they are looking to fill?

5500

I think there were rumors of 30+ jobs between the sites, did you guys apply for tallaght or ballyshannon?

sunnyrays

I applied for just Ballyshannon. How reliable is the source of these rumours 5500?! I'm curious aswell, say if there are 30 posts, how many will be in each location...

tanolo1

I applied for Ballyshannon too . . . I suppose we might know more after tomorrow when the panel goes live ....

sunnyrays

The panel goes live tomorrow? I assumed it wouldn't be til after all the interviews were done.

If you don't mind me asking, did your interview results refer to your place on the panel or just how you scored in the interview?

Pretty sure it said tomorrow in the letter . . will check it again in the morning. Yes the results gave me my place on the panel . . .

sunnyrays

Thanks for that tanolo1. Wonder where that leaves the rest of us then so... I wondered if it was a level playing field when we made it to interviews but it can't be when they have issued panel positons with only the first group interviewed.

Just checked the letter -
"The panel is live from Friday 26th June 2015"
Dont have any other information really other than that ...

5500

I wonder if they got sufficient numbers from this campaign , I know a good few people who pulled out 2 even at interview stage due to wages, there also seems to be a few on here who mentioned the same.

I guess it all boils down to how many jobs are available between the 2 sites but originally the panel wasn't supposed to go live until August so they must need people in quick

I do know the asked Grade 3 in the HSE if they would be interested in applying 2 weeks ago! So they may not have enough applicants!

I'm told we'll hear this week.

Emkla11

There was over 800 applicants for this process.
