Executive Officer 2024 Competition (Nationwide)

In the 2022 competition it was 3 weeks, but there was not a written test, so may take longer?

To be fair it is understandable for people to think it would move quicker than that.

I’m nearly certain this question was answered previously here and someone said that, while the process was long, it could be quicker for Dublin possibly a few months.

It may be worth reaching out to someone to confirm if they will be placing the 2023 panel before considering anyone from this competition. I would not be surprised if they will just work off the best OOM from both competitions to be honest but hard to know.

If that is the case you’d assume the highest OOMs from 2023 have already been placed and it would be slightly less competition as those left over would have been further down on the list.

I see. So that panel ends 30th of July 2025.. Just seems strange to me that they would include Dublin as part of this competition if they aren’t going to reach out to anyone for another year.

Would’ve made sense for them to do a nationwide competition excluding Dublin and then had a Dublin competition in 2025.

they might come to an end before July and it’s easier and cheaper to run one competition instead of 2 so they can starting interviewing for other candidates before starting Dublin based candidates in the new year. Once they do start it will move quicker than for any other county

Just received this email back to keep everyone in the loop!

The panel for this one is 12 months so would expect it to be quicker.

I think it comes down to the oom . If we are talking dublin, I think you will still be placed quite quickly if u have a good oom, and if not,and u are up over the 1000 (for example) you will still very likely be placed so u can just look at it as sometjing that's coming down the line in maybe a year or so. It's always good to be on all the panels anyway gives options :)

Regarding the recent EO competition, I found all 3 tests to be difficult. I suspect the purpose is to reduce the amount of applicants. I managed to complete 15 maths questions so am hopeful for a pass. Not so sure about the Verbal whch was unnecessarily tricky. I found the Situational Judgement to be very unfair. They claim there are no right or wrong answers, yet they still fail you for your opinion?

Well going by the recent HEO competition, it closed first round assessments on 17/07/24 and we received the results on 07/08/2024
