Open competition for appointment to the position of Crime and Data Analyst (EO Grade).

No.2 OOM for chosen location; waiting to see what happens next.

Crikey @lar18 that's terrible, do you know for sure you're out of the competition or just assuming based on how much your OOM went up? Honestly that's how I felt at first when the shortlisting was complete, my OOM went up by over 50 places, I lost hope but then got invited to stage 3 so you never know.

No idea re how many positions there are, but it did say in the booklet that the majority of the positions will be based in Dublin and there's no guarantee of a position in every county, so it's possible there'll be no positions in some counties...

Same here... got put on the OOM for Dublin but nothing since. Wondering how many positions they have available to start with... hopefully something will come of it eventually! Wondering if anyone outside of Dublin has had any more updates since the shortlisting results? This is a slooooww competition...

I contacted PAS the day the interview results came out and asked how long it would be before people who passed the interview would be assigned. PAS said they were waiting on AGS to advise how many people they were looking for before beginning the clearance process. They said I would be contacted when they reached my place (I was top 10 for Dublin). Presumably they are still waiting on AGS to come back to them.

What OOM are u for Galway?

Ok thanks. They might be interviewing in batches of 10 so. They’ll hardly need more than that in each county I’d say

No, I’m 17 Waterford. But I doubt they’ll need that many EO’s in Wat (but if they’re interviewing 10 for Gal they might interview 10 for Wat too). I doubt they’ll go much past that OOM tbh

Id love if they interviewed everyone and gave us all a shot but I doubt it’d happen. Like I think there’s at least 50-100 OOM per county? and there might only be 1-2 positions per county… They may not take from some panels at all so some counties, even if ur number 1, won’t place. I don’t think they ever said how many places nationwide there are so I’d imagine it’s a small number I’d guess about 20-25? Ive no idea though.

Yeah I saw that and tbh given a choice I’d rather be in the CS but I’m 100+ on the CS EO panel so have to give AGS a go if I want to be in the public sector

I’d imagine there’s only 1 or 2 positions open in Galway given the small numbers called to stage 3. Are the interviews commencing shortly? Best of luck if so!

Not entirely sure on treatment of analyst vs general EO’s in AGS…sounds quite messy atm. There is a nice jump in salary from EO analyst to HEO analyst so would be worth it if you could hold out the 2 years to be eligible for promotion

Did they advise you that you had to complete another analysis test too?

Does anybody know what OOM had been called for clearance on the Dublin panel?

They reached my place on 10th August. I started clearance but ended up withdrawing because I was successful in the current Interdepartmental HEO competition. Would have loved to combine the Crime Analyst role with the HEO money but had to choose. Best of luck to everyone else - it really looks like a great job.

I was advised that it can take over 12 weeks (3 months) for all vetting to be completed.

Im no 4 in a small county. Havent heard anything about interview and don't expect to at this stage

@Dee3988 Whereabouts in the OOM were you, and which county?

Ohhhhh I’m on the Dublin panel, in the 20s and the last time I checked in with them they had reached the teens and there was no more movement…it could be years!

Well done, hope the vetting doesn’t take too long for you!

No offer just yet waiting on sign off now then they will notify myself and HR to advise I have been cleared. Then HR will arrange a call with me about a start date.

Anyone else get a job offer and start date for the 9/01/23?
