During March 2013 the Public Appointments Service (PAS) commenced a recruitment competition to provide cover for temporary clerical positions in the civil and public service, including vacancies arising from the Shorter Working Year Scheme. Given the short-term nature of the appointments, the Public Appointments Service does not collate detailed information on the background of the candidates selected.
A total of 11,927 applications were received. Panels were generated from the county selection choice of the 9,942 candidates who qualified at the initial selection stage. As vacancies arise individuals are invited to attend for interview in accordance with their location choice and in line with their ranking from the first stage of the selection process. The following table shows the number of candidates provided to date by PAS following interview to Departments/ organisations in order to fill their vacancy requirements.
