    I completed these tests recently and received results. It doesn't state if you are successful enough for interview unsure of what the cut off point is to get to interview stage. Will a letter be sent out whether you be invited for interview or not? Thanks

    No-one knows, depends on what timetable the Council are operating on, but given at least fifty took the exam on my day alone, they'll definitely have to write out to any interviewees.

    As per info given in specification they will be calling the 'highest placed' for interview. An application form will be sent to those who place highest and then you will have to demonstrate all the required elements in the application form, i.e. knowledge of county council, teamwork, ict skills, etc. It will be a long process I imagine.

    Hi Everyone,

    I recieved an email specifying I got through to the next stage of the process.
    The next stage is an application form and a series of questions regarding how you would do as a team player etc.
    It needs to be in for next Friday did any of ye not still receive clarification whether ye got onto a next stage or not?

    Thanks

    No it was from HBS recruitment stating I had qualified for the next round.

    2 friends did the exam also and received no email and nothing even saying they didn't get through I thought at least they would email saying people were unsuccessful

    HBS Recruitment are the business end of HSE dealing with the HSE clerical officer comp so if you have also applied for Kerry in that it is probably that rather than Kerry Co Co

    Hiya, I too sat the psychometric test in the Brandon hotel for Kerry county council clerical positions. I got the results by post last week. I am relatively happy with them.
    I got 31 out of 35 in verbal reasoning, 14 out of 20 in the numerical ability test and 22 out of 52 in the clerical checking test. Time was the main issue. Will we hear back either way if we are successful or not. Is the next round a typing exam or an interview. Any info is appreciated.

    Got letter today saying they're only taking top 40 to interview. I was close but not close enough. Said they'd keep all info on file for 2 years.

    For the library assistant they said they were evaluating next steps and would get back to me.

    Just got letter today - 2nd overall for both Clerical Officer and the Library (presumably No.1 was also doubling up). Will check e-mail now for the form, so fingers crossed for the interview.

    Got the letter today, was placed 68 which I'm very disappointed with as they are only taking 40 to the next stage. Good luck to all those going further.

    Do you mind me asking your results did you get very high over the typical that people got on each test? I was short 5 on one part of the test but over avergae on the rest so could be my downfall

    Hi, how did you do in the interview?
    I've been placed high(ish)on the panel, just wondering have they started calling yet?

    Didn't get any reply yet, either by post or e-mail, so whether that's good or bad depends on whether anyone else got any feedback from their interviews!

    I was notified on the 7th September that I was placed on the panel after the interviews. No further communication since then.

    Thanks for that... I think I was a similar number. I've secured other employment in the meantime. Hope it goes well for you if you get it.
