See warning on posting your actual number in post #306
So a lot of people are still stuck in limbo with the vetting process? Says it cleared but it's been weeks and weeks now.
Only saw 1 or 2 here say it was about 4 weeks in total for them.
How long have you been waiting? I'm past the 12 week stage now π
9 or 10 weeks now.
Iβm a CO with the hse at the minute and have gotten on really well with this competition. Will likely be offered in the coming weeks. Iβm torn as to what to do - stay with the HSE or move?
If you're in the HSE CO role for a while, you'd be effectively restarting at the initial entry level.
yeah I know, just wanted to ask a few questions to someone working as a CO
there was no mention of flexi in the HSE CO job description either but itβs in place
I'm in the same situation. I'd prefer to chat directly through private message though if that's OK. I'll send you a message.
Sorry my previous message is to ashbpm.
Any luck? I'm still waiting, still getting the same generic reply from any enquiries. 14 weeks and counting...
Anyone any updates on Sligo numbers been recently called? π
I'm 51 so I know I might not get called for ages but just wondering if anyone knows what number has been called recently.. Any help is appreciated π
for interview or job do you mean?
I was called to the first round of interviews for Sligo and was successful getting a job offer. They're still in the process of garda vetting, so unless some of the others who have been offered positions turn them down, they might not call for interviews again for a while. I don't know how many got called to interview the first time; all I know is that at least 5 jobs were offered after the first round of interviews.
@hairyprincess I haven't even got called for an interview yet so might not get called at all yet I'm not sure π«£ unsure as to how many jobs they are offering...
I'm a high number so might not get called at all was just wondering what number they had gotten too with interviews and job offers :) thanks
Nope - still waiting!
Have you ever lived abroad? Wondering if that's why mine is taking so long. Or maybe there's just a build up of applications.
That's the main explanation I came up with as well, I've lived in 5 different countries.
However, I checked online for each country and none of the individual applications should take more than 2 weeks, so it still doesn't really account for the delay (currently 15 weeks).
Or it might be a backlog of applications, like you said.
Edit: I thought a language barrier might be partially responsible, but I just applied for and received (within 5 minutes) an English version of my (clean) criminal record for the non-English speaking country I lived in. So it's not that!
Hi everyone, I've just recently discovered this thread. I recently interviewed for the Dublin area and was offered a position pending vetting. When I got my offer I got a new OOM in the mid 30's. Has anyone been in a similar position and if so how long after clearing vetting where you then waiting for a start date? Could I be looking at months/ into next year would yous think?
Also I've only have 1 address my whole life does this usually mean the vetting process will be quicker than the quoted 10-12 weeks? Thanks for all the help!
My understanding is that starting with whoever received OoM 1 [post-interview], they will receive an email (when/if their Garda vetting is cleared) where they will be assigned a placement, start date, location. Once this is completed and accepted, the next highest OoM (assuming they have not removed themselves from the competition) will receive an email with the same information, and so on.
This means that if your OoM is (for example) 35, then 34 people need to have their Garda vetting completed, then consecutively be assigned a position, start date, location; decide to accept/reject the placement; reply with their decision.
Even though your Garda vetting might not take much time, you will still have to wait until they have dealt with everyone up to and including the person whose OoM is one less than yours.
Could be a long wait, but I'd imagine there are considerably more resources used for Dublin that others areas in the country.
Thanks so much for your response it was very helpful.
On another note does anyone know what the probationary period is in the civil service? Would one expect to be made permanent after 6 months or is it usually an extended 12 month process? Just curious as I'm on track to go for a mortgage in just under 12 months and I think this may delay me being able to apply.
Can you give a rough idea what you original OOM was?
For the benefit of anyone still waiting to be called for interview π
Yes of course! I was notified back in December that I was in the mid 60's OOM for the permanent Dublin positions. I then got called for interview the 1st week of May. The Interview took place a week later. Then I got the offer a week later, I accepted the same day and was then sent the link for vetting after that weekend. I completed the vetting application and have been notified today that the first phase of vetting is complete ( this took 1 week). Hope that helps! Best of luck.
Thank you, I appreciate you sharing that, have a great weekend π
I've just looked back over the information booklet and it's stated on page 11 as 12 months probationary period.
Anyone here Tipperary area?? Has anyone heard or gotten any job offers yet after successful interview? Trying to Sus how long this may take π«£
I was a TCO about 7 years back in AGS up in Dublin but got offered a Permanent CO role and took it -I'm on the nationwide CO panel and i wish to go to AGS but its unlikely as the campaign i think ends this/next month - is the AGS campaign every two years
If you are talking about the campaign that this thread is intended for, it runs for 2 years from commencement or until it is exhausted.
Thanks - just found the booklet and says its 2 years - so september 2025. Thanks again!
Hi all,
what would be the next step once Garda vetting is completed? Is there any amplitude test before you will be offered a position?
Aptitude tests were before interview, so as I understand - Aptitude test, result, interview, result, ,Garda vetting and job offer.
