Economist & Policy Analyst Graduate Role

Based off of previous posts in 2024, I feel like it could be like April or May by the time clearance, garda vetting, and references etc. is all complete and we are given start dates… even then it appears to be department dependent (I imagine for those further up the OOM then me it might be faster)

seems a lot later this year with beginning clearance?

emailed them to check in. will post any updates here :)

Reply mentioned that pre-employment checks will start sooner than I thought they would :)

I'm putting my direct manager but i think they don't contact your current employer without telling you first

I am in batch 2 as well, I'm wondering the same.

I am unsure about this, I assume it depends on your OOM but I really dont know how it works too unfortunately

pretty much, mine was about 9 working days

For me they confirmed that I was assigned the position and they assigned me to a department. Next step they say is that the department will be contact soon in regards to the start date.

I heard from someone who entered an AO comp a few years back that they send CVs around to different departments but idk if that is the case or if it also applies to IGEES.

Also, I'm a little worried about notice at work because according to my contract I have to give one month's notice. Any one have any insight in how long it takes when you have passed clearance to day 1 at the new job (i.e. being placed, communicating with HR etc.)?

I’m in a similar boat, live abroad, have a lease, my work now knows I’m planning to leave- but no idea about timelines at all.

@M.Diggums ah I see what you mean. No I haven't been assigned to a different dept as of yet. Hopefully there is some clarity soon.

I’ve sent an email asking for more clarity, don’t know if anyone has heard anything further?

Has anyone gotten a response back?

I have an update. I got a call today from HR from a department and was given a start date - starting in about two weeks.
