Recruitment of established civil servants is carried out by the Public Appointments Service (PAS). This is done through the website www.publicjobs.ie where potential applicants can register and be notified of competitions. PAS would also advertise through the national press.

For state industrial (including seasonal) posts, these are advertised on the OPW website www.opw.ie, in the national press and in the relevant regional publication depending on the geographical location of the post being recruited. Applicants are directed to the procedures as part of the advertisement.

All competitions are run in line with the Commission for Public Service Appointments guidelines.
