Hi guys,
Congrats on making it this far. I placed 43 in the oom for eastern and 30 for boarder. I got a call wedenesday to ask if I was still interested in economic enterprise and business development for Laois. So I have all the vetting sent off now. Just wondering does anyone know if there’s more interviews/other stages to go through or is the deal sealed now so to speak? Heading on holidays for 2 weeks so would hope there’s not another interview stage while I’m away. Hope you’re all enjoying the sunny weather
There won't be another interview. It's just the Start Date now

Congratulations to all of you who've landed a post. Well done
Wouldn’t lose hope yet I have a friend that was o. The panel for civil service since 2016 only in th last few months she got a position with the dept of justice. I think this local government panel stands for two years if I’m right. Positions will come up people will turn down places or may have found other jobs stay positive. 0 -

Thanks but you know I think it may be different in this case as its a 3year programme I believe they want everyone to start at the same time for training etc. I imagine they want to fill all the positions now and then dissolve the panel. I would be happy to hear if anybody knows different? Still want to hold on to that bit of hope

I was advised by PAS that the last interview was the final assessment stage.
Still waiting on an offer here. Hoping I'll have some luck. I was advised during the week when I enquired how many jobs there were and the man I spoke to in clearance dept said 'loads'. When I asked him to elaborate on this he gave me my overall OOM and said they were planning to hire 'more than that' and when I pressed again for a ballpark figure he re-iterated the figure of 'around' 150 or possibly more.
Also, it is my understanding that everyone should be starting together if possible, so it won't be one of those panels that will remain open for 2 years. I was told this directly by someone on the campaign back in the day.
Though I must mention that the guy in clearance contradicted this during the week when I said 'everyone's starting together aren't they' he responded with 'why would you think that?'. I went on to tell him I was told that and he said 'well I've not been told that'. Although this conversation would cast some doubt over the everyone starting together theory, I'd be more inclined to go with what the point of contact for the campaign said. This bloke likely does clearance for many campaigns and was going with what he considered the norm.
So in summary, I haven't been too optimistic with a not very low OOM, but if I'm going on the hiring around 150 information I feel like I could still have a chance having passed 2 skill areas and having selected 10 potential councils in 2 regions. I hope they get things moving a bit more next week (bloke also told me they're 'hoping' to let all successful candidates know by the end of next week but hes not sure because theres so few of them making the calls and loads of people to call).
I hope this info helps somewhat 0 -

That’s great info thanks. I was just wondering as I didn’t want to count my chickens before they hatched. But looks like I’m in the clear thanks. I hope you get the call too. 0 -
