Pre-Employment Checks At the end of the selection process a panel of qualified candidates is formed from which vacancies may be filled. A panel is made up of candidates who have been deemed suitably qualified having successfully completed the assessments, e.g. Testing, Interview, Presentation etc. The panel may consist of multiple batches as candidates are brought through the full assessment process in response to demand from clients. As vacancies arise, they will be filled from the panel of suitably qualified candidates. When a candidate is placed on a panel, they will have to wait for a vacancy to arise that corresponds with their order of merit. publicjobs has no foresight as to how many vacancies may be filled over the lifetime of the panel, and potentially candidates may not be reached on the order of merit. Qualification and placement on a panel is not a guarantee of appointment to a position. Several pre-employment checks must be completed before candidates are deemed suitable for appointment. These checks are carried out to satisfy publicjobs that the candidate fulfils all necessary requirements. Before a candidate is appointed, we will make all enquiries that are deemed necessary, including checks relating to health and character, employer references, qualifications, security checks (including international checks), and any other enquiries to determine the suitability of that candidate. If you are currently employed, please note a reference from your current employer will be required in advance of your assignment from the panel. This will be requested at the final stage of the pre-employment checks process. Until all stages of the recruitment and clearance process have been fully completed, a final determination cannot be made, and no offer of appointment will be made until these checks have been satisfactorily completed. Candidates must be in good health, capable and competent of carrying out the work assigned to them, and they must also be of good character. Those under consideration for a position will be required to complete a health and character declaration. Some posts will require additional security clearance and will require completion of a form for Garda vetting purposes. In the event of conflicts of interest, candidates may not be considered for certain posts. Where any requirements of the pre-employment checks stage are deemed unsatisfactory or cannot be obtained, we reserve the right to disqualify a candidate from any further consideration for appointment or termination of employment where an appointment has already been made. Please Note: Given the sensitive nature of some roles, individuals coming under consideration for these positions must undergo additional security checks/screening. Candidates must be willing at the Pre-Employment Checks stage to submit to and pass a detailed security assessment. Security Clearance You will be required to complete and return a Garda eVetting form should you come under consideration for appointment. This form will be forwarded to An Garda Síochána for security checks on all Irish and Northern Irish addresses at which you resided. If you subsequently come under consideration for a position in another recruitment competition within 6 months of being vetted by publicjobs, please notify us as you may not be required to complete a further Garda Vetting Form. If you have resided/studied in countries outside of the Republic of Ireland for a consecutive period of 12 months or more after the age of 18, it is mandatory for you to furnish a Police Clearance Certificate from those countries stating that you have no convictions recorded against you while residing there. You will need to provide a separate Police Clearance Certificate for each country you have resided in. The clearance Certificate must be dated after the date you left the country. It is your responsibility to seek security clearances in a timely fashion as they can take some time. You cannot be appointed without this information being provided and deemed satisfactory by publicjobs. Candidates should be aware that any information obtained in the Garda Vetting process can be made available to the employing authority. Appointments from Panels At the end of the selection process a panel of qualified candidates is formed from which vacancies may be filled. A panel is a list of qualified candidates ranked in order of merit from the interview stage of the selection process. Due to the nature of TCO roles, and the short time frame involved, candidates may complete the Pre-Employment Checks stage in advance of vacancies becoming available. For some candidates, satisfactory completion of the Pre-Employment Checks stage may not result in an assignment, as candidates will have to wait for a vacancy to correspond with their county Order of Merit and their location choice (where applicable). This panel may remain in place up to January 2028 or until such time as a new panel is in place. For those recruitment competitions where a panel(s) of qualified candidates is formed at the end of the competition in order to fill ongoing vacancies, the panel is made up of candidates who have been deemed suitably qualified having successfully completed all elements of the assessment process. The panel may consist of multiple batches of candidates that are brought through the full assessment process in stages (in response to the ongoing demand from clients). As vacancies arise, they will be filled from the panel. When a candidate is placed on a panel, they must wait for a vacancy to arise that corresponds with their place on the order of merit; all candidates will be given their place on the final order of merit at the end of the assessment process. Other factors may also be considered when appointing candidates, such as location preference and areas of interest/specialism. Candidates who are not in the first batch called forward for final assessment should note that there may be already batches in place ahead of them and their overall placement on the panel may be impacted by this. Confidentiality Candidates can expect that all enquiries, applications and all aspects of the proceedings to the extent that they are managed by publicjobs are treated as strictly confidential subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2014. However, candidates should note that all application material may be made available to the employing authority/organisation. Certain items of information, not specific to any individual, are extracted from computer records for general statistical purposes. Quality Customer Service We aim to provide an excellent quality service to all our customers. If, for whatever reason, you are unhappy with any aspect of the service you receive from us, we urge you to bring this to the attention of the unit or staff member concerned. This is important as it ensures that we are aware of the problem and can take the appropriate steps to resolve it. Use of External Assistance All candidates are required to complete assessments honestly and independently, without external assistance. The use of online systems, software or any form of artificial intelligence is strictly forbidden. Candidate submissions are subject to various checks to ensure that these tools are not utilised, and that the rules are followed. This includes duplication, originality and response pattern checks. As these are competitive processes, these checks are required to ensure fairness and originality of work submitted. Where a breach occurs, publicjobs will consider sanctions which may result in disqualification from the competition or a requirement to re-complete the assessment under supervised conditions. Use of Recording Equipment publicjobs does not allow the unsanctioned use of any type of recording equipment. This applies to any form of sound recording and any type of still picture or video recording, whether including sound recording or not, and covers any type of device used for these purposes. Any person wishing to use such equipment for any of these purposes must seek written permission in advance. This policy is in place to protect the privacy of staff and candidates/clients and the integrity of our assessment material and assessment processes. Unsanctioned use of recording equipment by any person is a breach of this policy. Any candidate involved in such a breach could be disqualified from the competition and could be subject to prosecution under section 55 of the Public Service Management (Recruitment & Appointments) Act, 2004. In addition, where a person found guilty of an offence was or is a candidate at a recruitment process, then: • Where they have not been appointed to a post, they will be disqualified as a candidate, and • Where they have been appointed subsequently to the recruitment process in question, they shall forfeit that appointment. Candidates' Obligations Candidates must not: • knowingly or recklessly provide false information • canvass any person with or without inducements • personate a candidate at any stage of the process • interfere with or compromise the process in any way Please note: If publicjobs is not notified of any issues you experience in advance of or on the day of your assessment/interview, we will not be in a position to address these after the fact.
