What is a competency-based role profile? A competency-based role profile outlines the core competencies that Fáilte Ireland has identified as essential for successful performance in a specific role. It is designed to provide clarity on the behaviours, skills and attributes required to achieve strong and consistent outcomes.
Read our Competency Framework.
Do I need to create an account and log in before applying?
Yes – before applying for any position, you must create an account using your first name, last name, email address and a password. Once you have registered and signed in, you can begin your application.
Please note, if you attempt to apply without signing in, the system will redirect you to register or log in before continuing, which may automatically delete any details inputted during your application.
What is the next stage after applying?
When you apply through the online recruitment system, you will receive an automatic email acknowledgement of your application from PeopleXD Recruit.
Once the closing date for applications has passed, we process all applications received and will contact all candidates with an outcome once the shortlisting has been finalised.
How can I access my application form after submitting for a role?
To access your submitted application form, please log into your account on join-us.failteireland.ie. Click on the Account tab in the right corner > Open Roles > My Applications > Find the role application form you would like to view > Click 'View' at the bottom of the role.
How can I access the role profile before the interview?
To access the role profile after you’ve closed the application, please log into your account on join-us.failteireland.ie > Click on Account tab in the right corner > Open Roles > My Applications > Find the role you would like to view > Click on the Role title.
If I’m not successful this time, can I apply again for another role?
Yes, you can make multiple applications for different roles. If you see another role you are suitable for and wish to apply, please submit an application through the process outlined.
Is the pay negotiable for roles?
Our remuneration is informed by the Public Sector Pay Policy, and so the salary is non-negotiable. The successful candidate will commence on the first point of the salary scale in line with current Government Pay policy unless they have previously worked in the Public Sector.
Any successful candidate who currently works in the civil/public service will transfer across to the Fáilte Ireland salary scales once they provide a letter from their current employer detailing their current salary. This will only be requested from the successful candidate at the offer stage.
The salary range for each role is as stated in the role profile.
What if my application is late?
Incomplete or late applications will not be considered to ensure fairness to all candidates. The closing date and time is clearly outlined on each role profile.
The onus is on any potential candidate to ensure they follow the application procedures outlined by Fáilte Ireland.
What happens if I have technical issues and cannot upload documents?
Technical problems with this service should be reported to the recruitment team via email at recruitment@failteireland.ie. For best results when completing your application form, please ensure that you do not use / or * within your answers, as they may hinder uploads. We also advise using the Google Chrome browser when applying for roles.
How do I request to delete/erase, rectify, or request a copy of my personal data?
To consider the candidate's suitability for recruitment to employment, personal data will be processed. This includes, but is not limited to, the job application form, references, interview notes and psychometric tests.
Under the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2015, Fáilte Ireland is required to retain your data for 12 months. This is to ensure that the recruitment process is transparent and that no applicants are discriminated against.
If you would like for us to delete, erase, rectify or share a copy of your personal data, navigate to My Account and submit your request through the process outlined under My requests.
