Supports for candidates

Here you will find supports to help you through the different stages of the recruitment process. These supports will be of particular interest to anyone thinking of applying – or who has applied – to the HSE for a job.

There are 3 modules running 10-20 minutes each depending on how quickly you work through them:

Module 1: Applying for a job in the HSE

This first module is all about the initial application (~15 mins).

Module 2: About interviewing in the HSE

This module is all about the interview process (~20 mins).

Module 3: Practising for an Interview in the HSE

In this module you will conduct an actual practice interview and evaluate it (~10 mins).

Throughout the modules, you will gain an understanding of the various elements of the recruitment process and glean hints and tips on how to best prepare for each stage. You will also have an opportunity to learn from the more common mistakes that candidates make.
