    Don’t see a trend started here. May be useful as the campaign moves on. How did people find the tests?

    Would be good to get an understanding of the type of people who apply and secure these roles. Where you a HEO or EO prior. What kind of experience or background do you have. How long have you been with revenue?

    I’d imagine they’d be sometime this week. They’re normally quick enough to get them out

    Results are out


  • Registered Users Posts: 377 ✭✭ThumbTaxed


    Anyone know what a good result. Like coming 147th. Is that good, is that ****e?

    How many were kept on versus discarded?


  • Registered Users Posts: 154 ✭✭Rosie_ob


    Does anyone know when the results of the verification tests will be issued?

    interview invitations to be sent out by Friday.

    I have to say, I've been called to interview and I'm absolutely bricking it - clearly there's been some kind of terrible mistake.

    I've only been in Revenue a couple of months, though I have a couple of years experience as a HEO with a department, but Revenue is kind of its own animal.

    Totally mystified by the leadership presentation - if you're not using slides, what other kind of handout might you want to give out?


  • Registered Users Posts: 73 ✭✭helen87


    For the presentation i am just bringing in printed slides for the board. TBH they probably wont even look at them but you will look better having something for them.
    i am not looking forward to it myself but have nothing to lose!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 samk39


    Anyone done the interview? How did you find it? I had mine yesterday thought it was tough!

    Any idea when the results will be out?


  • Registered Users Posts: 73 ✭✭helen87


    I did mine Tuesday also. It was tough and I found time went very quickly. Don't know if i gave them all the answers they wanted!

    I think the interviews are finishing this week so the results will not be long after that, two weeks max.

    Thank you. Yeah I felt the same, as if everything was rushed. I wonder how many were interviewed in the end?


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭greenfields11


    Think interviews finished friday, hope we hear this week, found the competition has moved along quick, more than likely second batch be called for interview


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 squelch666


    any word on the second batch of supervised tests???


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭greenfields11

    Any word on more rounds for tests¿

    Does anyone know how many were placed on a panel for this competition and how many have already been called?

    12 were paneled and the first few have been placed,not exactly sure how many though


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭BobCat123


    Another batch called for retesting..anyone know what number they called up to?


  • Registered Users Posts: 187 ✭✭Rdwrer


    When was this? I'm just outside the top 100 and I didn't get an email yet. I would assume if they only took 12 from the first 61 people, then they would take at least another 61 for the next batch.

    no email today


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭try_again


    Anyone else called to interview? They don't seem to have pulled many (if any) from the panel to date. Hard to figure why they're starting the next batch already.


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 squelch666


    they are starting the interviews again via skype..

    Has anyone heard will another batch be called for this competition?


  • Registered Users Posts: 58 ✭✭starringme


    Has anyone else been called to supervised (online obv) tests? I did the comp so long ago I had no idea what they were talking about when I got the mail last week but at the rate of staff turnover I suppose they're emptying the remnants

    Is the panel for this competition set to expire in July or has it been extended?


  • Registered Users Posts: 78 ✭✭gerrykeegan


    That panel had an expiry of 7/10/2021, I am not aware has it been extended.


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭BobCat123


    What’s the normal turn around from finishing the tests to getting results? Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 58 ✭✭starringme


    Finally got results, told it's a form next.

    Anyone know if it's a straightforward competencies form or weird questions like the open AP?

    Also is your call to interview based on the form or are you guaranteed an interview and this is just the first stage? Tia

    Going by the last batch it’s the normal forms. Think you’re guaranteed an interview once A Sec signs off on it

    Thanks, time to prep so we don't have another open style implosion so 😀


  • Registered Users Posts: 58 ✭✭starringme


    Is there a virtual presentation in a one-step interview process these days?

    Not that I’ve heard of,I know the heo interviews didn’t have any. No sign of the application form yet,slow enough to get them sent out


  • Registered Users Posts: 40 happihat


    Anyone else pass the AP today?

    Wondering how long the panel will remain open!



  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭BobCat123


    The last batch had an expiry date in October but it’s well cleared. I’d say it will be end of year



  • Registered Users Posts: 58 ✭✭starringme


    They've panelled 28 in Dublin, taking the September post-bump retirements into consideration and the amount of existing vacancies I can't imagine number 28 will be waiting too long. I heard from HR they're figuring out the logistics of the panel in September.



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 happihat


    Thanks @starringme that's interesting. I really hope all will be placed 🤞



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 happihat


    I heard this evening that the panel is still set to expire on 7th October 2021. That's only 5.5 weeks away, what are the chances all 28 will be placed in that time!



  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭MiggyB


    Does panel not exist for at least one year after it was formed. Last batch was due to expire 7th October 2021 but all are placed.



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 happihat


    I would have thought so but seemingly the expiry date is still the same according to HR. Doesn't seem fair!
