While a candidate may meet the eligibility requirements of the competition if the numbers applying are such that it would not be practical to interview everyone publicjobs may decide that a smaller number will be invited to the next stage of the selection process. publicjobs provides for the employment of a shortlisting process to select a group who based on an examination of the application forms appear to be the most suitable for the position. This is not to suggest that other candidates are necessarily unsuitable or incapable of undertaking the job rather that there are some candidates who based on their application appear to be better qualified and or have more relevant experience. During shortlisting an expert board will examine the application forms against agreed shortlisting criteria which are based on the requirements of the position. The standard of content of each application submitted may also be assessed during this process. Where a competition attracts a large number of eligible candidates the shortlisting process will apply a scored assessment of the information provided on the application form. A rank order of candidates will then be created and based on that ranking candidates will be invited to the next stage of the process in groups batches with those candidates ranked highest invited initially. Subsequent groups batches may be invited to the next stage of the selection process over the lifetime of the competition on a demand led basis if required. The shortlisting criteria may include both essential and desirable criteria specified for the position and it is therefore in your own interest to provide a detailed and accurate account of your qualifications experience in your application. The onus is on candidates to complete the application form fully and accurately. For certain competitions candidates may be required to undertake online assessment tests and will be shortlisted in accordance with their ranking in these tests. Applicants must successfully compete and be placed highest on the order of merit to be considered for advancement to the next stage of a multistage selection process which may include a shortlisting exercise as described above. The number to be invited forward at each stage will be determined from time to time by publicjobs. Pre Employment Checks Should your place on the panel be reached and you come under consideration for a position several pre employment checks must be completed before a candidate is deemed suitable for appointment. These checks are carried out to satisfy publicjobs that the candidate satisfies all necessary requirements. Prior to assigning recommending a candidate for appointment to a position publicjobs will make all such enquiries necessary to determine the suitability and eligibility of that candidate. These checks include an evaluation of Citizenship Health and Character Garda Vetting and Security Clearance and Reference Checks. Where Citizenship Health and Character Garda Vetting and Reference Checks are unsatisfactory or cannot be obtained publicjobs reserves the right to disqualify a candidate from any further consideration of appointment or termination of your employment where an appointment has already been made. Candidates with Disabilities Attracting candidates from all sectors of society to ensure accessible routes to career opportunities is a key priority of publicjobs. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all candidates. If you have a disability or need reasonable accommodations made during the selection process e.g. for interview assessments or exercises we strongly encourage you to share this with us so that we can ensure you get the support you need. Reasonable accommodation in our selection process refers to adjustments and practical changes which would enable a disabled candidate to have an equitable opportunity for this competition. We can provide accommodations for any stage of the process including online assessments interviews or exercises.

If you have been provided with reasonable accommodations from publicjobs in the last three years you should input the details of the most recent competition for which you were assigned accommodations along with your Candidate ID OR B. You will need to upload a psychologist medical report as part of your application which details your disability requirements.
