Candidates who are unable to demonstrate that they hold/will hold the required qualification(s) by the deadline specified may be withdrawn from the competition at any stage. An invitation to tests, interview or any element of the selection process is not acceptance of eligibility. Candidates who are placed on a panel and come under consideration for a position will be required to provide documentary evidence of their eligibility, including qualifications. Please be aware that candidates must provide evidence of their Official Award from the associated Awarding Body upon request. Academic results transcripts do not constitute an Official Award.

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, DAFM will carry out several pre-employment checks which must be completed before a candidate is deemed suitable for appointment. These checks are carried out to satisfy DAFM that the candidate satisfies all necessary requirements. Prior to assigning/recommending a candidate for appointment to a position, DAFM will make all such enquiries necessary to determine the suitability and eligibility of that candidate. These checks include an evaluation of Citizenship, Health & Character, Garda Vetting & Security Clearance and Reference Checks. Where Citizenship, Health & Character, Garda Vetting and Reference Checks are unsatisfactory or cannot be obtained, DAFM 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. Examples of adjustments we provide include the use of assistive technology, extra time, scribes and/or readers or a range of other accommodations. Please be assured that having a disability or requiring adjustments will not impact on your progress in the selection process; you will not be at a disadvantage if you disclose your disability or requirements to us. Your disability and/or adjustments will be kept entirely confidential. Should you be successful, the disclosure of a disability for this stage of the process will not be passed onto the employing department unless you request that we do so. If you indicate on your application form that you require reasonable accommodations, you will have the following option: A. 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. We require a report to better understand your disability and requirements. The report, in addition to your request, helps us determine what accommodations may be suitable for you, in the selection process. The reports will only be shared with our Assessment Services Unit. In the report, it is useful for us to see the outcome of any diagnostic tests conducted by your psychologist/doctor, and their summary of recommendations in relation to your requirements. You may redact (block out) parts of medical reports/psychologist’s reports that you feel are sensitive or unnecessary for the decision to make reasonable adjustments. Please do not email your medical/psychologist’s report to us – it should be uploaded directly to your online application. If you are unable to provide a medical/psychologist report at the time of application, you should go ahead and submit your application as we can facilitate you uploading your report at a later stage. However, if we do not receive the medical/psychologist report within 5 working days of the closing date (i.e by 6th November), it will not be possible to provide the accommodations requested for the online testing stage.
