Executive Officer (Dublin) in the Civil Service 2023

OoM in the 220s

Numerical: 735 / 800

Verbal: 720 / 800

Situational Judgement: 488 / 800

I'll be honest, I have no idea what happened with situational, I can't seem to judge the strength of responses / most appropriate one well at all.

I had a half finished written exercise answer so I don't know that that was taken into account for the OoM at all yet?

Congrats to everyone who got through to the next round anyways, and hope the first batch get through interviews alright.

Best of luck this year 🤞

Does anyone know up to what number on the OOM was called to interview in last years competition? Like where would you need to be for an interview?

And that panel was supposed to run for two years (same as this one)

Seems a bit of a wasted effort doing it at this stage when anyone who failed won't get to an interview

I got placed off the panel last year . You only get called once for the interview and get scored for both based on that interview.

You're missing out the other possibility, that there is huge vacancies at the EO grade across the Civil Service, particularly in Dublin. There is a slight difference in the last competition as people who placed high on the OOM of a county other than Dublin might reject the offer of an interview. But about 1,500 people were offered an interview in Dublin since Christmas.

1500, that's mad! I didn't even think they'd process that many COs.

And Fritzelly I've heard the interviews can influence your OOM - if you perform well and/or have anything new to add (new work experience, studying etc.) it could reduce it or else just stays the same I think.

This is my first tilt at this, so please excuse what could be a silly question: my OOM, is that unique to me? Or is it possible that these rankings are joint? You can see what I'm driving at: If I have an OOM of, say, 100, does that mean that there are 99 people ahead of me in the rankings? Or is it possible that there are 3 people at No 99, 25 people at No 98, etc? (this latter scenario turned out to be the case when I went for a role in the public sector, so I'm just wondering if it's the same with the PAS)

It's unique - if you were 100 there would be 99 people ahead of you and the next person would 101

Id assume the maths test would be the tie breaker for same scores then?

I was in the 1400s/680s open/Inter and interviewed. There were a month or two of Interviews after my number my reached

So considering they reached 2000s in last years within a year I'd say they'll easily hit the same again this year.

Plus with record employment hundreds will have other jobs by the time the their oom is called.

Would be interesting to know How many were placed on the Panel? This would be an indicator of how many positions they expect to have to fill.

I expect they set the pass mark to get a quota for the panel.
