You return the form to PAS at your interview and they send you an email with a link to complete the vetting process.

How long after interview should you expect to recieve the link for the e vetting?

Had my interview on Wednesday 29th but don't know when I should expect to hear back from interview? Asked the interviewers but did not get a clear response. I presume you get vetting link after being told outcome of interview..
Anyone able to help?

I imagine you wouldn't get the vetting link until the results of the interview are out and you pass. It might even be when you get a job offer.

It clearly states in the familiarisation material that the Garda vetting only comes into play if you are offered and accept a position,so don't worry unless you get to that point

Does anyone know if these interviews are pass/fail and if so does your order of merit change or if you get a new order of merit

This year it’s pass/fail and your merit won’t change

Presumably your OOM will change if people ahead of you fail or don't show up at all.

I think you could find your OOM improving greatly if you do well at the interview

It used to be pass or fail however last year my OOM of merit changed after the interview. I am not sure whether it's the same process this year. We should know when we get our results. Hopefully its soon.

Last year after the interview you received your score of your competencies. 20 was qualifying score and 50 max score. This year it’s pass or fail only. You won’t get a new oom but if people ahead of you failed/didn’t show up for the interview/rescheduled the interview they get to you quicker. Same when people before you on the panel don’t take the job offer.

Somebody told me that this year HEO's and AP's can call back former tco's if they were happy about their work. Anyone has any info on that?

Interesting. That sounds too good to be true. Would make sense but that would mess up the whole OOM system and would go against the fair employer status. Last year when PAS rang me with the offer they couldn’t even tell me what section I was being assigned to.

I have never heard that before. When I was in revenue I was told HEO or Ap had no control whatsoever over extensions. But what you say could hold some truth.
For example I read that according to Forsa last year a competition for cos in a garda station had to be rerun because of so few applicants.

Some areas do find it difficult to attract people especially defence so the above may well be the case

That's what I thought!

Nothing yet. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad sign.

I rang for update and they said interview results should be out mid February. It's usually 10 days after your interview.Good luck to everyone😊

Do we get the interview result via the PublicJobs.ie messageboard?

abbeybella

yes

Why do they ask for references and vetting form at the start? Wouldn't it make more sense after interview results are published?

I agree,Any other job you would do that when your hired but the Garda vetting only comes into play if you are offered and accept a position. I guess they just want everything ready

Its strange because for TCO jobs there was no vetting in the past. Certainly not in 2018 with the exception of police stations which I believe takes months.

And in 2016 I was offered a position in CDETb which at the time was not under public jobs the vetting started once you accepted the offer.

Strange situation. Or are they going to be lenient and offer jobs to pretty much anyone they interview??

Lol.

Don't know about that, but if the person is being given a job anyway based on oom they can request them back to their dept. Seen it happen to someone I know very well

I have been for my interview on the 27th, (all year) but there was interviews for summer panel taking place as well.

abbeybella

Any idea if it's possible to change from all year availability to Summer only as my circumstances have changed( no result of interview yet ) so I don't really want to ring ��

I e-mailed Orla Coughlan early last week and she said interviews were due to finish last Friday (31st) and that we'd hear this week.

No, I had my interview 2 weeks today and still waiting to hear a result. Thought it would have been this week.
