Has anyone recieved a thanks but no thanks mail for phase one?
Would have thought I'd have got one by now.

I don't think they sent out any rejection emails buddy, everyone has completed phase 2 now so I doubt you will hear anything

Maybe they are waiting to see if they hit their quota from the ones that have just done phase 2. Who knows? Might be worth emailing them.

Phase 2 had 130 people or thereabouts, so probably hit their quotas.
I did really well in the VSE but made a mess of the SCAAT so I'm out.

I think I did well in all of the tests but I didn't get one of the questions done in the pre-interview form so we could be in the same boat.

I'd say you are ahead of me so to be honest!

Have they advertised these jobs again?

No, they contacted people who did the tests at the start of the year but didn't get the earlier call for the next round.

Anybody hear anything back from phase 2 yet?

annor99 · 09-10-2019 02:37PM

Just an update for anyone following. Husband got an email for an interview next week.

markmmmm · 09-10-2019 02:46PM

Contrails · 09-10-2019 03:25PM

Fair play. Just after I wrote that I got the thanks but no thanks email.

I actually start with Dublin Bus in a few weeks so that's probably enough CIE for me anyhow

Best of luck guys.

Well done to those who got called for interview. Did anyone else get a rejection email? I'm a bit in limbo.

How far did you get? Rejection emails from Phase 2 went out on Wednesday.

seanbrady49 · 11-10-2019 03:52PM

Got a Rejected mail yesterday, didn't even get my name right on it, wasnt even close lol, best of luck to everyone still in the running

Realpat · 11-10-2019 05:40PM

Have the email now. Not to be but already knew that.

LastStop · 12-10-2019 09:13AM

I was told that IR re-advertised internally in the CIE group for train drivers. Haven't seen it myself but someone I trust confirmed that he saw it.

Perhaps they felt taking from other parts of CIE and already knowing the work record of the applicants was more beneficial than open process.

Bit of an insult to the many people still waiting if you ask me.

Irish Rail Informer · 12-10-2019 09:27AM

Apparently a deal with the Unions.

They were allowed to advertise outside the company, once the also advertised internally as well.

edit:
The internal candidates have to pass the same aptitude test as the external ones to be considered.

Deedsie · 17-10-2019 12:05PM

I emailed them yesterday to see if I was still in the running haveing missed the recent assessment phase. I emailed explaining I couldnt make the dates offered as I was out of the country. Really hope I am not out of the running over something like that. Sickened

Not too hopeful I will receive a reply.

Effects · 17-10-2019 12:14PM

Don't take this the wrong way, but it's doubtful you are in the running.
Why would you be? They held assessments for the positions, and people who could attend will fill those positions.
Just hope that they keep you on file, and may contact you again in the future.

Why wouldnt I be, I was invited for an assessment and I couldnt attend the available dates. I assume if there are more dates in future I will be reconsidered for assessment on those dates.

If there is any fair play in the hiring process there has to be flexibility for people in situations like that.

Lol.
Plenty others to take your spot. They don't owe you anything. Don't expect any form of logic either.

Any normal and decent employers accommodate prospective candidates within reason but given the terrible job HR have done since they first advertised wouldn't surprise me if they move on without.

GavRedKing · 18-10-2019 11:43AM

The sisters father in law works in IE, there's 19 in for interview in Cork this week and the next.

No idea on the numbers being hired though.

As crappy as it sounds I reckon you've missed the boat (genuinely hope I'm wrong). The recruitment process has been symbolic and I'd say that the fact that you weren't available when requested will probably work against you. What depot did you apply for?
