Higher Executive Officer 2024

No, I heard nothing. I'm high enough on the OOM that my form would have been checked, so they mustn't have started Kilkenny yet.

Thanks a mill for the info, that's a very quick turnaround. Hoping I won't have to do all that when I'm away. My current AP advised me to send them an email, saying it was no harm to ask and they said: "At present we have no set dates in place for Stage 3. Should we call candidates to Stage 3 and reach your order of merit we will be in touch via your publicjobs message board, so I recommend that you check this regularly."

It can be a personal thing. I don't particularly like them because I now know most of those that sit on the boards for internal comps and that just makes me extra self-conscious in an already stressful situation. Others prefer them because they find it difficult to get past the online tests for open comps

V helpful thanks a million for posting. Can I ask how much notice you got for interview date?

Hey there,

Does anyone know if there is an open HEO competition coming up? Thank you!

Did anyone get contacted for Galway? I'm in the 20s and wondering if there is any chance that they'd go that far shortlisting 🤔

any update / results for Clare?

Anyone else apply for the Galway panel. I got 17 after the assessments and found out yesterday they are only looking at the first 16. They will look at my application if a vacancy arises.

16 is such a random number. I'm sorry you were only 1 away.

I'm in the 20s for Galway so will assume that that's the end of this competition for me.

So when you got the stage 2 shortlisting you were asked to submit your ID more or less immediately. We haven't been asked to do that yet and it's been a week.

I imagine it may be for GDPR reasons; maybe in 2022 they only interviewed up to a certain number on the stage 2 shortlisting so they ended up with ID details they never used (that would be a GDPR violation). Regardless, it would be nice to have a rough timeline for next steps!

I am open to correction but I believe you can choose from the 3 themes in section 4 of the renewal strategy to base your report on.

Got a date for interview and presentation. Rural county. Three weeks notice.

Is it only rural panels that have been called so far? Has anyone on the Dublin panel heard anything yet??

Yes I'm in the 70s and not heard anything either. Maybe they are sorting the rural panels first.

I’ve been called for Dublin, was in the first 25 after shortlisting.

3 weeks until the interview, you get the full brief a week after the invitation and a week to submit the report, leaving one more week to prepare for the actual interview.
