on the message you recieve from Public jobs it states your overall order of merit. then breaks down your order of merit in your chosen locations.

Very good Does any know how long is the panel active for? Has anyone been offered any jobs yet?

Panels are usually active for 2 years or until they exhaust the applicant pool.

I got the same e-mail on Friday, wonder is it only the Dublin panel getting called to be vetted then as most of the positions will appear there first.

They did say they were doing the vetting process slightly different this time having people vetted before the roles become available. I am presuming normally they would have offered a role then got the person vetted once they accepted.

Yes, same. In Dublin though

Got top 10 in software development stream. Letter said there is only 1 job and they will be in contact if more positions become available.

Haven't heard back about the infrastructure role yet. I did the interview for infrastructure 1 week after the software development interview, so will probably here back next week.

Dublin panel.

Did they not combine any streams into the one interview? Seems terribly inefficient to interview the same person multiple times.

Interesting, I didn't receive any letter other than a notification email to state where I was nationally and where I was based on my location. Wasn't informed about what jobs where available or anything

well they are effectively different jobs you are applying for, different people will be interviewing you for each stream.

Got the result for the Infrastructue stream, got top 10.

Email said only 1 job at present, which is strange as it was a national campaign, something very fishy about the whole thing!!

Departments may pull of internal panel along with inter HEO panel for any vacancies. Departments may be weighting to see if there own staff made this panel too before pulling from it

Top 10 in a particular location or nationally? There are probably quite few HEO IT jobs outside Dublin. I got top 10 in Dublin and first in my chosen location.

Yep exactly this. I was enquiring about moving to a particualr department, and it seemed to be going well but got a call the other day saying that their HR said no. Found out that their are 3 people from that department on the panel, 2 ahead of me and one behind and they would fill all the available Heo IT positions.

Hi, did anyone apply on the inter-departmental competition ? Has there been much movement on that one ?

Rdwrer

There's another thread on here about it. There's been loads of movement.

Anyone hear anything about the reserve batches for this competition?

westmeath11

O right, I cannot find it, I was looking over the weekend.

What is the title of that thread ?

I'm on the reserve and got an email from PAS on Friday. Nothing in my chosen location but asking if I wanted to be considered for Dublin.

I had discounted the reserve panel tbh but obviously they are dipping into it now.
Anyone else get the same?

Rdwrer

I got the same, but confused why I did as I was down for Dublin anyway. I must have put down other counties as well.

I got the same mail and had chosen Dublin, so replied to say I'm still interested.

I think it was a mistake on their part. I had already put down Dublin as well.

Rdwrer

Message just sent by publicjobs to say that it was a mistake. At least we know there will be interviews next month for the reserve panel. Time to start preparing.

tombom112

Got the same email, (on reserve panel too) about my area being filled up and did I want to be considered for Dublin. I have a interview for the Dublin panel middle of October, if anyone has any advice please let rip, otherwise good luck everyone

Chora

On reserve panel for Dublin & received same message but nothing since then! Will everyone on the reserve panel be interviewed?

edenbridge146
