The Civil Service is a large complex organisation employing over 50,000 people in approximately 40 Government Departments and offices and a range of other bodies. Every day the Civil Service makes a vital contribution to Irish life.

These may include one or more of the following: • Completion of an online Assessment Questionnaire • Online and/or paper-based assessment test(s) • Shortlisting of candidates on the basis of the information contained in their application against set criteria based on the requirements of the position • An online video interview • Competitive Interview(s) • Presentation/Analysis exercise • Work sample test • Any other tests or exercises that may be deemed appropriate, including language proficiency tests publicjobs has the discretion to add, remove or amend selection stages and assessments, at any point, as necessary. Applicants must successfully complete each stage of the selection process, in order to be considered for advancement to the next stage of the multistage selection process. The number of candidates to be invited forward at each stage will be determined from time to time by publicjobs. Please note: If publicjobs is not notified of any issues you experience in advance of or on the day of your assessments/interview, we will not be in a position to address these after the fact. Stage 1: Online Assessment The initial stage of the selection process will be an online assessment. Online assessments may be taken in a venue of your choice, wherever you have access to a computer and a reliable internet connection. It is important to note that taking these assessments within a secure IT network e.g. a network such as your work or college which may have firewalls or other security technology in place may cause you technical difficulties. You should ensure that you can complete the assessments in a quiet environment where you can concentrate without being disturbed for the duration of the assessments.

Candidates will be given specific time windows in which to complete the assessments. A link(s) to the actual online assessments will be sent to candidates’ portals on publicjobs.ie in advance of the test-taking window.

If invited to progress through the selection process, a candidate may be required to sit tests in a supervised environment. publicjobs has no function or involvement in the provision of, and does not endorse, any preparation courses relating to the selection process. Stage 2: Interview & Exercise Stage 2 of the selection process requires you to complete a Capability-Based Interview and a Practical Exercise. Further details, including familiarisation material and preparation guidelines, will be provided in advance of this stage, for those invited to progress. Shortlisting The number of applications received for a position generally exceeds that required to fill existing and future vacancies. 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 provide 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. 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. In the case of competitions that may involve large numbers of candidates, candidates may be ranked on the outcome of their online assessment tests and will be shortlisted in accordance with their ranking. Applicants must successfully compete and be placed highest, to be considered for advancement to the next stage of the multistage selection process. The number to be invited forward at each stage will be determined from time to time by publicjobs. Next Steps Should you come under consideration to proceed to subsequent stages of the selection process, further information will be forwarded to you at the appropriate time. Positions Requiring Specialist Irish Language Skills The Civil Service is fully committed to fulfilling its obligations under the Official Languages Act. It is intended that any vacancies arising, which require staff to provide a full range of services through the Irish language (Functional Bilinguals), may be filled from this competition.
