Hi

Have searched for a thread about this but couldn't find an up to date one, so apologies if I am wrong.

I seen on a certain radio stations website that dfb have been given the go ahead to start recruitment. Does anyone have any idea when or any further details?

The link says it will be an external recruitment drive?

Great news if its true. The fact I couldn't type ruled me out of the control room recruitment. Back in the game now!

to qoute the email: im am pleased to inform you have been sucessful at stage ... aptitude testing and you have been placed .... in the order of merit. at this time dcc intend to interview upto and including 100 on the order of merit, should future vacancies arise dcc will contact you directly.

they did indeed do that as they ended up interviewing up to 140 on the order of merit. im just outsode of that number and to be honest am expecting to be interviewed for this new panel.

If they are advertising i would imagine the old panel has been scrapped.

From what I gather they will be recruiting for fire fighters in the campaign. The last campaign before Xmas was for control room staff.

temp control room staff with a view to become firefighters. we sat the same standard firefighter aptitude tests just with the aditional typing skills tests relating to the controller.

Yes but it was a campaign advertised specifically for temporary control room staff which after four years "may" lead onto fire fighting duties. That's what they were recruiting for. Load of bxxxxx for those of you who jumped through hoops and made it onto the panel. Disgraceful actually if its true. But absolutely nothing would surprise me with DCC anymore. But has any one got a more reliable source than 98 fm? Because I'd take it with a pinch of salt until I hear it from a reliable source.

agreed, there is nothing on publicjobs.ie and the usual spots. i hope it isn't crossed wires. from the wording they said its the first external recruitment since the recession, which isnt true, well unless they dont count the controller recruitment.

I'd imagine that this will be a brand new drive, considering it'll be for FF positions and an external drive.. But you never know! All rumours and hearsay at this point.. Sit and wait.

I was on the panel for the Guards for 5 years and we didn't get any notification whatsoever when they scrapped it.

We had to just hear shatter suggest it wasn't going to be used then a fresh campaign was announced.

Not to stamp on your optimism but just don't expect any courtesy from any of these people
