Public Sector Jobs: High Dropout Rates in Ireland
Description
Despite thousands of invitations, many applicants in Irelands public sector job recruitment drives in 2024 and 2025 failed to show up or withdraw, with over 30,000 no-shows. Garda recruitment was hardest hit, with over 3,200 invited to online tests but only a fraction attending. Surveys reveal issues like low pay, long wait times, and private sector competition. Medical roles also faced high dropout rates, but some competitions saw near-perfect attendance. Public jobs officials consider this normal churn, but it highlights challenges in attracting talent to public roles.
