Nope, nothing. Applied for a different role last week and shortlisting had been completed by yesterday, and online tests sent out to be completed by next week. It's crazy the time difference between competitions.

Not a word.….. the wait goes on!

Mr. sneakyboo

Message out from public jobs today. Anyone else think the message was bizarre? I was outside the top 40 and placed on a reserve panel but it would be interesting to know how the application forms were scored. Also my preference is for outside Dublin so impossible to know where you are on the panel for specific counties or is that irrelevant as I’m on the reserve panel.

I thought it was oddas there was no location and no feedback. I got reserve too. I wonder what kind of backgrounds people had if they were called forward. Can anyone share?

Mr. sneakyboo

Same. The lack of detailed feedback seems strange. Usually there would be a score given for each competency with a minimum standard to reach in each competency but for them to state some applications demonstrated sufficiently strong evidence while another group demonstrated sufficient evidence is so vague. After waiting so long I’d expect more feedback. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were just under pressure to complete the shortlisting and rushed it through and thats why it’s so vague.

Made it through the shortlisting, heard nothing about any top 40 though. I wonder is that nationwide or by county? No word on interview yet

Mr. sneakyboo

Congrats on being shortlisted. My message stated candidates up to 40 on the order of merit were being called for interview. I presume it’s nationwide.

Email out this morning to say vacancies are only in Dublin, Louth and Wexford currently so only those counties will be interviewed. Looks like a waiting game for the rest of the country.

Placed in the single digits OOM for Clare and Galway for the Senior Crime and Data Analyst role, so a waiting game it is.

Would anybody have the PDF for the role? Can't seem to find it

Thanks if so

I didn't get any further. Got no details why unfortunately. Maybe next time. Have interviews been held yet? Any offers made?

did anyone get a job with Gsas after? Just wondering what the job entails and what it is like?
