    Thanks 08122019 for letting me know. That is disappointing to hear but not surprising given how the whole process has developed over the last 2 years. Maybe next time :)

    I was contacted yesterday to see if I was still interested. I still haven’t responded, given how long we’ve been waiting they can wait a few days while I think it over.

    Does anyone have any insight into what the job is like? Is it all on site or is there any scope to work from home? Is flexi available?

    Would anyone happen to have the info booklet for this role?

    I understand it's long past accepting applications I just wanted to view the booklet all the same, if possible!

    Many thanks

    Has anyone replied to the recent email? And has anyone heard anything back?

    Replied over the weekend but given how it has gone so far I won’t be holding my breath.

    Based on the most recent posts there seems to be a bit of movement on this competition. As the initial competition is a few years old now, I'm hoping they'll run another one. Has anyone any advice on applying, or do those who were successful have any insights on the job, was it worth the waiting?

    I'm also interested in people's experience with this. It seems like the hiring process was terrible. Can anyone say what the actual job is like? Are there opportunities to move up the ladder? Any advice for those interested in applying in the future? Thanks.

    This is why I lost interest in this competition.

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/oireachtas/policing-authority-garda-civilian-analysts-treated-in-deplorable-manner-1.3434853

    After reading this, I had reservations about the type of work environment I could end up in, but I still wasn't sure that withdrawing was the right thing to do. Considering how the whole process has been run since, I'm glad I did. The whole thing has been a complete waste of the candidate's time. It reflects very poorly on AGS.

    Loads of promotions to AP and HEO recently because of the introduction of a new Divisional model.

    Pretty disappointing reading. I really regretted not applying back in 2018 but with what has been written on this forum maybe I need not have felt that way. The job itself sounds like a dream and something I would be hugely interested in but it seems like it not only is it incredibly hard to enter into but the environment itself is poor.

    It seems like you know people in this role. If you are able to share more, I'm be very grateful. Do they generally seem happy with the work itself/working for AGS? What types of backgrounds do they tend to come from? Thank you

    New poster here! It looks like they are rectruiting for this again. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who got the job. What is the job and environment like? Is it worth the hassle of the competition?

    Also interested in this role as it sounds very interesting and would like to hear people's views thoughts on the role itself.

    If I was to apply and be successful, I would be taking a fairly large financial hit from the private sector.

    Be interested to hear the day to day life of the role, realistic hours etc

    I'm applying for this myself. I'm not too worried about what the role involves. It is interesting in the application form, how you must outline your experience of qualitative and quantitative data. I assumed they would be looking for specific details. However, to outline something, it's essentially bullet points..

    Deadline for the current competition has been extended to 21 March. I suppose that means there weren’t too many applying?

    Oh no I missed the deadline again!


    I was waiting 4 years for this to become available again and missed it.


    I saw an article on the job just there and it sounds even more interesting than I originally thought (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/big-data-at-the-forefront-of-modern-garda-s%C3%ADoch%C3%A1na-investigations-1.4815156)


    I know there was stories about the work environment being poor a few years ago but unsure if that's still the case.


    Either way I'm kicking myself for not applying, I don't even mind the pay cut it would create!


    Good luck to all who applied, not sure how many positions are available but hope you're all successful.

    Oh no! That’s very unfortunate! Thanks for sharing that article. I missed it. I bet that’s why they extended the deadline, in the hopes article would generate more interest. For future reference, you can set up an alert on the public jobs site so you don’t miss out the next time around.

    There have been two internal promotion campaigns in GSAS since 2015 from EO to HEO, one is going on at the minute. It looks like that's how the HEO spots are being filled now.

    I don’t know but I’d guess from the booklet it’s a fairly lengthy hiring process with interviews and tests and so on. I applied for a public sector job years ago where they were hiring 100 or so people over all and it took 3 months from applying to starting the job. In this case, they’re making a panel so it could take a good bit longer to actually get hired off the panel.

    How did the tests go for everyone?. Funnily enough in all the years I've being doing these assessments I have always been stronger in the verbal than the maths. This time I feel I struggled with the verbal and done the best I ever have in the maths!. One of these days il get both.

    I found the verbal very tricky. I thought I was choosing ‘cannot say’ much too often

    Does anyone know if this offers work from home at all? It would be about the only thing that would make me consider it at this stage.

    Doubt it. Given the sensitive nature of the work, using Pulse system etc, I'd say it'll be all in the office.

    Not sure though.

    Ooh, curious about this. What have they asked you to do? Do you have to present something in particular? I haven’t heard anything since the stage 1 results but I saw in another thread that they have only contacted people who applied for Dublin.
