The following advisory notes on the “Expression of Interest” notification have been put in place to support and guide you through the process on the basis of your decision.
- An “Expression of Interest” is an invitation offering you the opportunity to express your interest in a post. It should not be considered a job offer. This will outline the details of the position in terms of location, tenure, job title, etc.
- “Expression of Interest” invitations have a deadline and once the deadline has passed, no further expressions of interest will be accepted. The deadline will be outlined to you in the email
- Expression of Interest responses will only be accepted in the format that is outlined in the “Expression of Interest” invitation
- HSE National Recruitment Services may issue “Expression of Interest” invitations to more than one candidate on a panel at a time
- Following “Expression of Interest” responses and deadline, the candidate who expressed interest in the post and is highest in order of merit will be given a “Recommendation to Proceed invitation” to progress to the next stage of the recruitment process (pre-employment clearances)
- If you respond to an “Expression of Interest” invitation with “Interested” and you are not the highest in order of merit on the “Expressed Interest list” your position on the panel will remain unchanged
- If you respond to an “Expression of Interest” invitation with “not Interested” your position on the panel will remain unchanged
- If you do not respond to an “Expression of Interest” invitation we will assume that you do not wish to express an interest in the position and your position on the panel will remain unchanged
- If the person who is highest in order of merit on the “Expressed Interest list” progresses to Recruitment clearances and subsequently withdraws we may revert to the next highest person in order of merit on the “Expressed Interest list” or depending on the time that has lapsed we may issue a new “Expression of Interest”
