Temporary Clerical Officer 2023

Does anybody have the booklet for the taco competion that opened in February 2023

I think it is the same as this one: Link

There is no right or wrong answer. Go with your best hunch. I'm surprised there is an option to defer a Tco contract but that might be the way to go. On the other hand, DSP are finding hard to recruit and keep staff and you could have a chance of being made permanent. I know some who have. Tough call but you can't be wrong either way.

Hi all

I got an email for a Zoom interview in 2 weeks.

Can anyone shed some light as to what will be asked. 15 minutes long supposedly.

Thanks guys.

I interviewed for TCO panel on Tues for Clare, results out today

Does anyone know whether the TCO panel that began in December is going to be kept going now that they've started the B one this year? I've done the interview for the December one, and it'd be a bit annoying if I had to do it again lmao.

oom 360 for dublin, applied for summer. Does anybody know if I have a chance or should I look elsewhere come end of college year.

Hi guys.

Does anyone know if you passed stage 2 interview for TCO 2023 (got email yesterday) can you apply for CO 2023 that’s out tomorrow?

I’m thinking of applying for this also. Does the training take place in Ballsbridge and is it 4 weeks of 9-5 do you know? I have a few long weekend breaks away organised for June so I’d probably be out of the running ( unless I cancel them) if the training is all in person.

Did interview yesterday for Dublin, was 00m 360. Hoping for summer assignment. Interview lasted approx 7mins.

What does OOM mean?

Thanks for the explanation. So, from results of your assessment, you have an OOM ranking on one panel, and then when you complete your interview, you have a separate ranking on the final panel?

Am I understanding that right?

Thanks again.

From your online assessment you will receive an OOM, or order of merit, based on how you scored on the assessment. This is the order in which people are called for interview. You are not on a panel until you pass the interview. It used to be the case that when you interviewed you were given a new OOM based on how your interview went, but I believe PAS stopped doing that a couple of years ago and now you retain your original OOM.

As the panel progresses your OOM may not be indicative of how many people are in front of you because candidates may get placements from other panels, or find employment elsewhere.

I’m mid 500’s for Dublin , haven’t been called for interview yet

Dublin are at oom 176 as of today.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how long the vetting process roughly took?

Thanks

Just tell them about the holidays when being offered assignment. They might hold you off starting til you come back Or depending how long the holiday is and how long your placement you might have enough holiday entitlement to cover it

the placements can be 3 months or 6 months or maybe longer and they might get extended but it won’t lead to a permanent position. You would have to apply for the permanent clerical officer panel to get a permanent role.

ya When it’s over it’s over and you have to start again. There seems to be tco panels being run several times a year now though so keep an eye out for next one. You won’t have to keep interviewing each time if you have been through an interview for a tco in the last 3 years.

Hi everyone!

I have recently gotten clearance for my Garda vetting, and the Garda bureau told me that they told PAS.

Just wondering how long it will be before PAS will be in contact with me so I can start!

If anyone has any experience in this situation, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Conor.

The booklet says "It is not envisaged that appointments will be made from this competition after 31st December 2023" for TCO 2023B. I think C is more nationwide/different counties from the B panel.

Starting on Monday in DSP on an 18 week contract, I'm in for the permanent competition aswell but haven't sat the interview yet.

Question is, how likely will the DSP extend my contract when it's up?

I'm hoping to have Sat and passed interview for permanent role to ease the mind before then.

Just under 2 weeks.
