HEO Tax Specialist 2026

I placed around the 180’s as well. I wonder how many are called as part of group 1?
Would love to know what determined the OOM

Me too, I didn’t make it to the next stage. I can’t wrap my head around how poor of a mark they gave me for Part 2. I put a lot of time into the application and I have a lot of experience as an internal auditor and senior management roles.

don’t focus too much on the numbers, they call you to interview in batches, focus on the interview stage because your OOM will change according to how your interview goes. I’m in a similar position to you . Also I think that number reflects nationwide as opposed to your chosen county in some instances depending on how they have selected because if it’s similar to the EO that’s how it’s done.

you’ve a good chance they’ll interview a couple 100 at a time probably batches of 50 so focus on your interview because it all could change depending on the interview, you get a different OOM. That’s my experience anyway from previous competitions. I’m glad it’s in person interviews because I find it hard to relate remotely.

damn high 200’s - so disappointing!

Where are ye seeing the breakdown of scores? Is it within the email? Or a separate attachment?

Are people reading the email that interviews are starting the week of the 7th April or that they will call group 1 that week?

@RCL173 I'm reading it as interviews will start next week, and that's why interview prep was mentioned too. It's a bit vague though so I can see how it can be interpreted both ways!

Its not a lot of notice for anyone who is called for interview, especially over Easter, annual leave, school holidays etc.

I'm in the 220's so I'd say it will be a while before/if I hear anything.

I presume they go through what experience you have and discuss it- this is my first time applying for a job with Revenue

Yes, my interview has been scheduled.

Hi there my name is Claire just wanted to know has anyone else applied for nationwide CO Campaign with Public Jobs? I am still waiting on results of these? Any one else got them?

Hi Claire1985, there is another thread discussing that competition -

Top 30. Hard luck to anyone who doesn’t get an interview. This is my fourth time applying for a panel in Revenue so hopefully persistence will pay off!

I interviewed for the recent AP panel but didn’t get called for interview the two times prior to that I applied. I’m low down enough on the AP panel that I don’t expect to be offered a role before it expires next March.

the AP interview was very much focused on the work experience and answers to the questions I had given on the form, rather than generic interview questions. I would know your application form inside out. That being said, no idea if this will be the same style of interview. I don’t want to steer anyone wrong!
