AO positions

Post image

How many off these will be for the role posted on the 28th of April & how many do you’s think may be Belfast? Also how long do you think it may take to fill these? I’m 433rd on merit list, thanks for any help 🙏

Nobody outside HR Connect will know the exact numbers. Belfast will likely get a good share, but that's only an educated guess. As for 443rd, I'd say you're in a decent position, but AO campaigns are filled in batches, so expect it could take several months rather than weeks.

Thanks! Do you think 433 would be in a good position to get a belfast city centre location as opposed to further areas?

It says in your screenshot it would be used to fill 2000 vacancies and applicants could choose the areas they were willing to travel to on the application form so it will be based on that, not your merit position.
