    Dear Candidates,



    Thank you for your time at the recent Phase 2 Assessment Centres. We are now looking to move towards the interview element of the process.



    Please can you confirm your availability for interview attendance on either Thursday, 28th February or Friday, 1st March.



    When we understand availability to attend we will furnish you with a specific time slot and some details as regards the interview itself. As always, slots are limited however please do not be concerned as we will have future dates to follow.



    As there will be two parts to this process, you will need to allocate circa 2.5Hours of your time.

    Sorry guys I must have deleted it by accident! That's the email there. Don't lose hope yet!

    Can I ask if you have done a medical and when you received this email?

    I also haven't heard anything since the short notice medical emails after the phase 2 assessments.

    Same as. If they called people in for interviews yesterday I think i’ve reached the end of the line. I hope they let us know one way or the other shortly.

    I haven't done a medical so I think they'll go ahead with interviews and then medicals. But that's just a guess!

    Yeah it's not looking good. I also did Ph2 assessments on Monday the 4th and haven't done a medical yet but didn't get an interview email yesterday.

    I mean, we did get offered the short notice medicals which was promising, but I'm thinking now that they've had time to go through the assessment results since then I might be out.

    My phase 2 was the week before that and medical on Monday the 4th

    Nothing yet here regarding interview but I'm thinking it's going to take time because at 2.5 hours per person they'll have to do plenty of different dates

    I did my phase 2 tests on Monday 4th as well!

    It is a long interview, but would they not check the availability of everyone they wanted to see for scheduling purposes?

    Up to now I had thought I was still in the running as I had received the last minute medical email, now I'm not so sure....:(

    I wouldnt be losing hope yet everyone..

    It seems those that got the interview email have not done medicals, what about the people that have done medicals.
    Also 2.5hrs interview that max 4 people a day so 8 people over 2 days.. the email states that there will be plenty more dates available.

    Dont lose hope just yet!

    In the same boat, completed phase 2, no email where as my brother in law completed phase 2 and got the 4-6 week mail.

    both applied for galway..............very odd


    I done the online tests with 2 friends. Two of us applied for Dublin and one Galway. We all done them together, gave the same answers and got to about the same stage on the SCATT (taking care to get the correct answers rather than speed).

    The two of us that applied for Dublin are still in the running.

    The guy that applied for Galway hasn’t even received an email since.

    So it would suggest they’re either not recruiting for Galway yet or else they’re looking for women only (which I’m sure will open them up to all sorts of legal issues if found to be true)

    Guys/gals,

    For those who never applied for the CS or semi state job before.

    These recruitment campaigns take quite a while. I know I've been through it before. They are well advertised and alot of people go for them. The fire service, prison service,guards etc they all take time beginning to end. 18 months it took me.

    IE are looking for 100 people over 4 years. Dublin obv needs more drivers for obvious reasons. So this is why no one else outside of Dublin seems to have been called yet. Just wait be patient and be ready to go when called even at limited notice. Unfortunately supply completely outstrips demand so they can afford to call the shots and contact people only when they want them. When you do the assessments do your best that's all you can do. Don't torment yourselves refreshing emails every 5 minutes.

    they said those who have done the medical process will be interviewed first, I did the phase 2 on last day, and the lady said I won't get invite for the interview foe a while after that, but to sit tight. medical will be after that... no stress, sit tight and that email will come.

    i'm assuming so, she did say there are a lot of people to be interviewed, she told me and chap that was there with me that we won't get the first few dates as there are people who had medicals but now for the rest the interview will come first and then a medical as that's the way it was supposed to go from the start.

    It was a country wide recruitment drive not just Dublin but Dublin would have a higher demand then the rest of the country for drivers, anyone outside of dublin will prob take some time, still haven't heard anything since the phase 2 online assessment, but you would think that youd at least get some form of generic 'thanks but no thanks' mail........for me nothing but tumbleweed
