Best of luck everyone!
Thanks for that. I thought that was the case, but I couldn't recall exactly what they said to me after the interview. If it was indeed the 2nd February, I would imagine we can expect results around the 16th.
It could be sooner. I was 7 days after interview. Good luck!!
Thanks! I sure hope so. The waiting is the hardest part!
Hi all. I passed my Interview final stage last October. Placed Interd 4 and Open 7. Just heard I'm down to 1 on ID and 2 in the Open. Both on a Wexford Panel. Open until Oct 31st. Here's hoping a vacancy pops up!
Can't delete....
Good luck! I think you'll be fine. I'm waiting on Dublin open after passing in November 2023. Hopefully not too long to wait.
How is there such a long wait? Reading posts here of people getting start dates a couple of weeks after receiving their interview results?
There seems to be a much longer wait for people on the open panel than existing civil servants on the InterD panels. People on the InterD panels wouldn't need to go through garda vetting etc.
There were interviews on the 29th, and I'm assuming all the rest of that week. Has anyone heard anything yet? If you're unsuccessful do they tell you at the same time as successful candidates, or later?
Anyone know what is the range of scores that was used for this batch and if there is any word on when the next batch will be called and what scores will be used for that batch?
Not sure, I had mine on the 26th Jan, no word yet. Hopefully find out today either way 😅😬🤞🏼
Noting yet here either. I understand that they send the results out to everyone at once.
I am expecting results next Friday. Partially to avoid disappointment if they don't come today!
Bandmember, message above seems to be the latest from PAS
They told me at my interview on the afternoon of Friday the 2nd that I was the last to be interviewed from batch 3.3 and results would issue in 10 days. Hopefully results come today if not probably next Friday.
Thanks, but it can't possibly be correct as I scored well over 1000 and have not heard anything from PAS yet.
Bandmember, see above
Sorry email address is aprecruitment@publicjobs.ie .....
it appears from reading through on the thread, the two locations/counties you selected in original application also determines the order you are called. It is based on demand from Depts.
Thanks Tony, am aware of all that and how the process works. I have tried to contact PAS but have not received any response despite multiple attempts to get in touch. As I say, they seem to have gone way past my original score to bring people to Stage 2. I'm just baffled and confused as to why I have not been contacted - even if just to say that I didn't make the cut for shortlisting.
@BandMember i think you’re mixing up Order of Merit (oom) and stage two results. After stage 1 (aptitude tests), you will have been given an order of merit which you appear to indicate is 1000+. I believe they’ve only taken candidates from stage one to stage two with an OOM of around 700 thus far. During stage two, applicants competencies were shortlisted and they were given a new score, not an OOM. Hope this makes sense.
I understand what you are saying, but none of it is correct. Anyway, let's move on.......
@BandMember just trying to help mate. Rudeness won’t get you far.
On 19th Jan they were only on 1037 (Total score) as in following the original online exam for both inter and open. I think stage 2 kicks in when they get to your number review your application and then you are either in or out to stage 2
I didn't mean to be rude, apologies if it came across that way! 😕
This is the correct scoring called after stage 1 i.e. 1037 and not in the 900s. That's were the confusion lies.
Hi. Can anyone in their new AP role give some feedback as to how they're getting on?
Hi Swilly
are you new to the cs?
or moving between Departments?
Going to a new Dept Tony. Huge change after many years!
Great question!!! I’ll be new to CS so would definitely appreciate any insight from anyone else who applied externally who’s already started in their role.
I'm also in the same boat. Next few days I expect to be moved from PAS to new Dept. Coming from outside the CS, so all new to me.
What time do the emails for OOM normally come out on the Fridays?
