Garda Siochana Recruitment 2024

It’s different to the interview. For mine they just assigned me a date on a Saturday. I’m sure you could rearrange it if you have a good reason and give plenty of notice.

Should be soon. The first batch results for interview have been cimpleted now

No hassel. For me, it was around 2 weeks after my Interview results came out.

Hi all,

I am currently waiting to hear from publicjobs about my interview date, from what i can see batch 1 have already received their results. I am 568 in order of merit which would make me batch 3.

I am just wondering from those in batch one or anyone that has gone through the 2023 campaign, how long after receiving your interview results did you have your fitness test? and also if you are unavailable on the date you received have they given you the option to reschedule?

Thanks in advance

Hey folks I'm number 403 on order of merit I was wondering if that'd place me in batch 2 right? Assuming they go in groups of 208

mid 400s and just got the email to book my interview. Sooner than I thought but happy 🤣

just got emailed to book interview batch 2.

Likewise. Time to start prepping. Best wishes everyone and thank you to those who have posted some interview insight. This batch of interviews will conclude June the 7th for those waiting in merit.

My oom is 510 and I got my batch 2 email today. 🙂

Best of luck to all those doing the interview soon 🤞🏻

Hi all. I also received an email today to book interview. Just wondering about the written exercise from the online assessment stage...will we be reminded of what we had written for this exercise during the interview process? Best of luck to all going forward

In 2023 , PAS sent me mine a 3 days before the interview. I’m sure you could also request it earlier. Worst they could say is no.

hi friend. Best of luck in your upcoming interview, could you let us know what the interview is like when you complete it? I haven’t got any email yet to book. Thanks !!

It’s similar to other job interviews. There will be 3 people there on the screen. There will be an Inspector from the Guards and someone from the Public Appointments service. Also there will be a note taker. The Inspector and PAS official will take each take 2/3 compatenacies each and ask questions. You might get asked questions like why do you want to join the guards ect.

The interview mainly consists of questions regarding the 5 competencies (e.g. Exercising Authority, Problem Solving ). The interview is fine if you have 2 different examples for each competency. Also know your written excersise and be prepared to answer questions on it.

Personally I’d recommend some sort of interview prep course. Which is what I done. Search around for them online, we can’t advertise specific courses here on the form.

Also to anyone doing the interview, the might throw a curve ball and you might think you done crap in the interview afterwards, which is what I thought. However , I passed well and and had an order of merit around the 100 mark.

It’s also pass/fail, so if you do great at 4 competencies but make a mess of one and fail one , that’s it’s your done.

Currently civil servant on 53k, flexitime, mon-fri, work from home 3 days per week.

Got into final stage... just physical competency/medical left.

Can take the hit for 9 months training on 300 odd a week. But do any serving members know what realistic wage I would be on after allowances and bit of overtime, as 35k is a big drop from current earnings.

My current pension carries over so I am on the improved pension terms.

Living in Dundalk. Would I get stationed local(ish) or be shipped off to Dublin?

Am I mad to consider this? Would like the thoughts of current serving members if possible please!
