Garda Recruitment 2023/2024

For anyone wondering how you are contacted about medical results, I’ve been emailing and phoning for the last 8 weeks.Finally found out today I was signed off on the 5th of jan.There doesn’t seem to be a certain way of doing things. Some will get an email, some won’t.

Yes but others I know have received emails saying they have passed.some of the HR staff will tell you nothing others are more helpful .

So does anyone know how many they take from each recruitment drive? i'm guessing a couple of hundred. They then spread that over multiple intakes? So depending on how you fair in the interview/online exam and how long vetting takes you'll be placed in an intake sooner if you do well? For example will the people who do well in this recruitment drive be placed in with people who took longer to get through vetting etc from the last recruitment drive? Or is it even known.

(Never mind my question was basically answered above i didn't see it till now)

I understand what you're saying.

I did 'fail' when I tried to join AGS.

My reason for giving advice is in hope that no one else makes the mistake that I did.

I've been through the aptitudes, medical, and physical exams ,so, I do believe that I have an educated opinion on some of the questions asked on this forum.

Just because I'm not with AGS does not make my experience with the recruitment process invalid.

I'm not really sure why you might have a problem with that but feel free to expand

been busy :-).

Honestly only here to help, not looking to offend anyone but I do have a good knowledge of what it's like to be left waiting for updates.

This forum is designed to help and not scold.

NO, I'm not AGS. I wish I was. All I'm trying to do is help people not make the mistake I made

I made a number of mistakes on my BR form (now Form B) which was the form we had to submit for Garda vetting at the time.

I failed to disclose 'dealings with AGS', if you click on my profile you will see the history of comments I've put up

my last application was for the 2018 campaign, I was told in 2022 that I wasn't successful. Covid had a big part to play in the delay in that

would you be able to pm me what you did aswell, or which one you used that you thought best, thanks

I've got the results I've passed the online assessment..now waiting for the next step

Hey

Thanks 🙂

Is there something counting your word count when you were doing your written exercise?

Not certain but judging from the comments from last years campaign. There were at least some people in the 1800s after stage 1 on the order of merit. Could be more.

I completed the written assessment this morning and made a mess of it, I completed the first scenario and clicked next to go the next one and it saved my progress and logged me out as if I was complete🤬🤬, so I would say that is me gone for this year.

It wasn't very well explained

I think I’m the same , only completed one

Yeah there was only one scenario in the written exercise.

The numerical part took me well over an hour , does anyone know how time affects your score and even at that I only got about half right ! So disappointed

I'm assuming the grading is outsourced so surely each application will be looked over by human eyes - people can easily hit the 22-45 sentence mark but the quality may be udder shite.

A lot of people seem to be getting mixed up on exams.

the assessment questionnaire = you’re given options to pick what you’re from good fitness health, team worker, work well the community etc

then you’re given a passage and you have to pick from the four options if the act is good or bad.

the exercise I feel people are talking about it’s the written exercise where you get a passage and you have 30 minutes to say what you would do in this situation. There’s only one passage.

..

What do you mean fault? Like it’s all good if we write in the one box?
