Garda Recruitment 2023/2024

So does anyone know how many they take from each recruitment drive? i'm guessing a couple of hundred. They then spread that over multiple intakes? So depending on how you fair in the interview/online exam and how long vetting takes you'll be placed in an intake sooner if you do well? For example will the people who do well in this recruitment drive be placed in with people who took longer to get through vetting etc from the last recruitment drive? Or is it even known.

(Never mind my question was basically answered above i didn't see it till now)

Im not sure we are meant to mention names of services on this (think it’s a forum rule) but I’ll PM you what I done.

I understand what you're saying.

I did 'fail' when I tried to join AGS.

My reason for giving advice is in hope that no one else makes the mistake that I did.

I've been through the aptitudes, medical, and physical exams ,so, I do believe that I have an educated opinion on some of the questions asked on this forum.

Just because I'm not with AGS does not make my experience with the recruitment process invalid.

I'm not really sure why you might have a problem with that but feel free to expand

been busy :-).

Honestly only here to help, not looking to offend anyone but I do have a good knowledge of what it's like to be left waiting for updates.

This forum is designed to help and not scold.

NO, I'm not AGS. I wish I was. All I'm trying to do is help people not make the mistake I made

I made a number of mistakes on my BR form (now Form B) which was the form we had to submit for Garda vetting at the time.

I failed to disclose 'dealings with AGS', if you click on my profile you will see the history of comments I've put up

my last application was for the 2018 campaign, I was told in 2022 that I wasn't successful. Covid had a big part to play in the delay in that

would you be able to pm me what you did aswell, or which one you used that you thought best, thanks

I've got the results I've passed the online assessment..now waiting for the next step

Good luck to everyone doing stage 1 tests from tomorrow om 👍🏼

Try and keep your spelling and grammar as good as you can. Hit the word count/ sentence count.

What are you supposed to be writing about ?

Hey

Thanks 🙂

Is there something counting your word count when you were doing your written exercise?

Not certain but judging from the comments from last years campaign. There were at least some people in the 1800s after stage 1 on the order of merit. Could be more.

I completed the written assessment this morning and made a mess of it, I completed the first scenario and clicked next to go the next one and it saved my progress and logged me out as if I was complete🤬🤬, so I would say that is me gone for this year.

It wasn't very well explained

I think I’m the same , only completed one

Yeah there was only one scenario in the written exercise.
