    Hi everyone,
    I've gone through the process of the references and sent in all the stamped documents etc but I haven't heard anything about a start date yet... Have you had a long wait time between these two stages or I suppose it could depend on the job itself?
    Also, I saw Garda clearance mentioned on the forms but I haven't been asked to do this yet. Is that a standard requirement too?
    All the questions... I am getting a bit anxious after all this time!
    Thanks

    I recently started the process is very complicated and slow. It does depend on the department you are going to and the post you are filling. If it has suggested that you contact the line manager then do this, even as a courtesy to see the lie of the land. Also be aware that you have to work 11 days in Liue in the HSE. I did not know this and got caught out Christmas week.
    I didn't need to do garda vetting for some reason either. It took weeks for them to get back to me. Don't hand in your notice yet either because the start date could be months or weeks off. Best of luck

    Do you think they may interview again? Or are they only taking people from the panel?

    Hi there,
    I am starting in tralee hospital as a clerical officer..I havnt been given a start day yet and i am passed the vetting stage after being on the panel since 2017. I am currently working as a TCO with department of social protection in cork. As I am living in cork i will probably try and get a lat outside tralee such as miltown or castleisland.
    just wondering what the pay is like and the work?
    any ideas much appreciated

    I was offered my job in mid/late February, employment clearances started in mid March and I started the job in May. That was with them fast tracking things due to covid, too.

    Have only just started following this thread again after a long break. I was on panels for Laois/Offaly and Longford/Westmeath. Delighted to say I got permanent role in council last year so am no longer interested in taking job in HSE.
    Laois/Offaly have sent a substantial number of expressions of interest since the panel was formed 2.5yrs ago. Quite a few were sent during lockdown. 2 today alone.
    Longford/Westmeath is a different kettle of fish! I've received 2 expressions of interest in 2yrs of the panel. I was hopeful of a position there as I was told by a staff member that there was a lot of vacancies to be filled. They've been filling them with temporary staff it seems.
    I understood the point of the HBS looking after the recruitment process was to make it a fair system. I don't believe now that this is the reality.

    Best of luck to anyone still hoping to be placed.

    Has anyone accepted a post within the last couple of months? Did you have to have your documents notarised? It didn’t say anything in the email and I assume that’s because of covid streamline process but maybe I’m mistaken and should’ve had them done? Haven’t heard back from hbsrecruit yet so hope it’s all ok

    I expressed interest for a post on the 10th (closing date 15th) and received recommendation to proceed on the 22nd. Going through pre employment clearances at the moment so don’t know how long this will take with the streamlined process. Reaching contracting stage can take months as far as I know

    I accepted a job back in Feb and went through the streamlined process, I didn't need to get anything notorised. It was all fairly painless, although make sure you do have your bits because its a short time line once they request them.

    Thanks I sent everything in and just waiting now to hear back. How long were you waiting for a start date after submitting your preemployment stuff? I got a call from occupational health the day after I submitted the form to them just going over some stuff on the from but that’s all I’ve heard since then.

    I got a phone call from my new line manager at the stat of May asking when I'd be available to start. I had to give 2 weeks notice in my old place but probably could've started earlier.

    One thing as well is they only wanted one reference from me before I started which they called and sorted, then the others a few weeks into the job.. Which I had to chase up myself, which was a bit hard because I hadn't worked there in nearly 10 years and the company didn't allow outside emails so it added in loads of extra steps in such a short time frame. It was probably the most stressful part for me

    Hi I received an email on the 23rd of September saying I was progressing to the final stage of screening (contracting) but I have heard nothing since. Is this normal?

    I got that email on 28th of August and only received my contract documents on the 16th of September, I think it can take even longer than that depending on how many are ahead of you to be processed

    Thanks. Good to know that it's normal enough to be held up. Thank you

    An expression of intrtest came out yesterday for a position in Ennis. Its hard to know where they have reached cos you dont have to to take an offer. This could go to number 50 but 1 to 49 still on the panel
