Thank you . My file has just moved to contracting so I'm definitely still 5 weeks behind you. That really gives me a great idea of when I'll be starting. Appreciate this so much

Not very confident myself so you're not alone. In middle of test,an error ocurred so had to contact support to fix. Got them done anyways. Did you get the email confirmation of submitting your assessments? I haven't got anything yet.

Does anyone know once preclearance is done for clerical officer in HSE how long it takes for the contract to be offered and start date? The last thing I have to do is medical and got an email yesterday from Occupational Health that the form was received and will be processed. My references have already been contacted as my old boss text me and said they got a form to fill out.

The contracting team sent me a garda vetting form so I filled that off and posted it off as the offer letter mentioned completing it. I hadn't received the vetting link a week a week later so I contacted the contracting team and was told the vetting didn't apply to the role. Not sure if they sent the vetting form by mistake or if this was only found out after I had posted my form.

Oof, it was a bit more nerve wracking than I thought it would be. I managed to answer all the inductive reasoning questions, although there were I think 3 I wasn't sure about. Think I got maybe 13 of the numerical reasoning ones done but there were a good few ones I wasn't really sure about, and I got 16 of the verbal reasoning ones done, of which I'm pretty sure I got...most of them right, I hope. I went into the test feeling fairly confident because I did one back in 2017 for the local county council and did really well in that (back when it was done in person, with paper and pencil), but came out of this one feeling a lot less confident.

Not sure. I can't remember how long I waited in 2017, but I imagine this will be quicker since it's all done digitally now. That sucks that you got the errors, but at least they got sorted quickly for you.

Not sure how long it takes but I have gone through all the pre clearance checks and reference checks and still wasn't told a start date. That was over a week ago. I rang pas to press for a date as naturally enough I need to know of I'm talking about starting in 2 weeks or 2 months.

I was advised the next thing I get will be an email from assignments.

Has anyone else been through the assignments process? Is there any more hoops then or is it straight in?

They did say there is a big back log at the minute and I should know today, tomorrow or early next week.

I'm not applying for the medical side but the recruiter in pas I'm dealing with is noted as a medical recruiter so I assume he is doing recruitment for 2 sectors in the public service. The only contact I have had is with clearance department in pas. I was advised by clearance that my file is finished ie Garda vetting done references and medicals all done and now my file goes to assignments. I think it's a different section. So I am awaiting on an email from assignments to say I have been assigned to the role and then talk to HR about a Start date. If anyone else has any experience please let me know if I am wrong

I’m in the final stage of preclearance, does this mean mine won’t be going ahead now… I was applying for grade 3 clerical officer :(

I think once you have gone that far you will be fine, I've been through it all this past 8 weeks and I start in 2 weeks, it's only certain areas and sections, I think grade 6 and up is affected..

Hi can I ask what section you are going for. I’m at pre clearance for ehealth but after todays announcement I’m not hopeful 😒

Just after receiving an email from CPL stating that they are extending the deadline for the aptitude tests until this Thursday.

Son got same here, I still think they are only going ahead with the assessment so that they (the recruitment agency) can get their payments for producing a panel even though no jobs for the people who sit the assessment…..

Your probably right but this round was a supplementary panel to a supplementary panel of the original panel
