Our objective is to provide you with a confidential recruitment experience that is professional, courteous, considerate and helpful.
We aim to deliver an efficient service that includes providing:
- detailed information on vacancies and the recruitment and selection process
- timely acknowledgement and response to queries
- sufficient notice for all appointments
- clear, specific and meaningful feedback when candidates request it
- detailed interview results to all candidates
- reasonable accommodation when requested.
We treat all applications in strict confidence, according to relevant legislation including:
- Freedom of Information Acts, 1997,
- Data Protection Act 1988 & 2003,
- Public Services Management (Recruitment & Appointments) Act 2004
Appointments to positions in the Health Service Executive are made, under Recruitment Licence subject to the Code of Practice published by the Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA), which set out how the core principles of probity, merit, equity and fairness might be applied on a principle basis.
The Candidate information document included with each advertised job specification and application form includes details on the HSE complaints and reviews process deadlines under the information for candidates section.
Note the Code of Practice does not govern the appointment of General Practitioners under the GMS Scheme as General Practitioners have a contract for services and therefore are not employees of the HSE.
