Higher Executive Officer 2024

Anyone have an update on Limerick? For those that have gone through interview...have you received an offer or are you sitting on a panel?

I was OOM 38 after stage 1. Moved to OOM 2 after stage 2 shortlisting. Called for Batch 3 interview on 3rd July.

I had the same issue as the person posing the question and can confirm that this reply is spot on.

In the end, I just ended up booking a new outbound flight just so I could do the interview on the orginial date & time given to me.

Depends on where you are. For some counties they call a batch in for interview and then give them another order or merit for the panel. Then you wait on the panel and are placed as and when a vacancy arises so might be waiting a while after interview. The panel could expire even though you've passed your interview. This tends to be done in bigger counties like Dublin/Cork/Galway.

For other smaller counties they only call people for interviews as vacancies arise.

As in, HEO is needed, next person on panel gets called for interview, passes, gets placed. Nobody else is called for interview until another HEO is needed from that panel.

My partner is number 4 in a county where they do this which means he probably won't get called for a while (unless a couple of people fail their interviews) as it will only advance as a position comes up. The positive side to that is that when it's done like this when you pass your interview things move pretty quickly.

Hi just checking has anyone got anything for Galway?

When you are under consideration, does anyone know how long it should take to get an offer?

Anyone able to advise on the subjects we have to do the presentation on for interview?

I am OOM 16 in Batch 4 and I heard that they have moved to batch 4 from a colleague today but that may not be true.

me too please!

Yes, I got shortlisting email last week and yesterday got email to say I have interview in July, very quick, thought interview would be way off, any tips for interview and report/presentation would be really appreciated, not sure where to start with the capability framework 😀

Any update on Mayo

Does anyone know your take home pay for bi weekly pay on first pay scale for HEO.

no, definitely fortnightly . There’s 26 pay periods over the year so for two months there’s 3 payments and the rest are 2.

I'm hoping they get through batch 4.

It looks like they took everyone that was left on the panel after they passed the exams and shortlisted to create a new oom based on that to create the final batch,ie batch 4. I know someone who was in the 1200's and got shortlisted.

Have a look at the link - and then take into account all deductions etc https://www.forsa.ie/pay-scales/civil-service-salary-scales/
