    Out of curiosity, for the people in Batch 1.3 now in or around clearance, what was your original OOM after the initial online verbal reasoning, numeric and situational judgement tests?

    Think I was like around 170s but have seen others say they were in the high 200s when called maybe higher

    Expression of interest email today. Thought I was out of the running for this comp. I started as an EO recently - think I'm happy enough with that for the moment.

    Anyone know how the HR stream is progressing and how many will be selected for it overall?

    Number 9 was called for clearance in the HR stream around two months ago and the competition appears to have stalled there for now.

    Should be any role provided it's an actual public sector role (e.g. not consulting, not self-employed but billing the public sector etc). And ofc if you're paid less than AO point 1 you're not gonna get an increment anyway!

    Do you know anyone that was working in a non related role and got to be on the same HSE/public sector payscale?

    It seems this can't be confirmed until you accept the offer which is probably too late for your current employer to stay

    I just moved from HSE to civil service. My increments were sorted before I even signed the contract. Same point on scale and same increment date.

    Were you working in a Non - AO role? Was your experience considered "relevant" or is it applicable to anyone working in public sector/hse in non related roles?

    I was told around a week after I finished clearance. But it ask depends on how fast your references reply. I'm currently in the civil service for over 3 years so they just checked with my line manager.

    By most recent count (last week), they had reached 65 in batch 1.3 for clearance.
    Anyone have a more up to date number?

    I realise it probably varies by Department, but how long does it normally take for the Department HR to get in touch after the notice of assignment has been received on publicjobs.ie? And once they do make contact, how much notice would they normally give of your start date?

    I'm trying to figure out when I should give notice in my current role...

    It does vary greatly depending on the Department. I was assigned my Department by PAS on a Friday and the Department contacted me on the Monday.

    Don't hand in your notice until you've been contacted. They're generally quite flexible on start dates in relation to notice periods.

    Hi all, apologies but I cant seem to find the thread for the 2021 AO comp for Roles in Taxation, Accounting, Law, Data Analytics, Statistics, Economics or Crime Analysis.

    The deadline for submitting the application form was Thursday 3rd June. Would anyone have an idea on the timeline for a response on if people are successful to get through to the next stage? or is it worth emailing them directly?

    If you don't mind me asking, how long in general was it from being told that your number had been reached and that you were entering clearance, to finally being assigned to a position?

    I received an email telling me my number was reached on May 26, I replied immediately saying I wish to proceed, then the following day I received details telling me what I needed for clearance
    By the end of that day I had everything sent off. June 2nd I was contacted again because personal emails for referees are not accepted.
    June 8th I was sent an email telling me my EVetting was complete.
    June 16th I was assigned to a dept.

    All complete within 4 weeks but would probably have been faster if there had not been issues with my referees.
