Civil Service Fast Stream 2024 - Applicants thread

Any info on this? Has anyone else recieved EOI form? And how do you know if your score was out of 12 or 16? Does everybody on the FSAC get approached with an EOI or is it selective dependent upon score?

I think it's based on score as the email stated "your score at FSAC suggests that you may be suitable for other opportunities in the Civil Service at Executive Officer level."
My timeline was:
05/12/23 FSAC (Operational Delivery)
15/02/24 Portal updated that I didn't pass the FSAC
16/04/24 DAS email received
22/04/24 Sent off my EOI and CV
And now we wait!!

I can only answer your last two points:
Scores were previously out of 16; however, they've revised the scoring system so everyone's FSAC score is now out of 12. This will show when you check the portal for your feedback.
Not everyone will be approached for DAS, it depends on how many roles they have available and are offered based on merit (e.g. the highest scorers on the FSAC & FSB who just missed the pass mark). There's currently a recruitment freeze in the Civil Service so it's likely there'll be fewer DAS roles on offer this year.
Hope this helps!🙂

Hi everyone I just wanted to ask as can't find anywhere- how much does your pay increase for each year on the fast stream (roughly)?

Congratulations! Do you mind me asking what your score was? And whether you got <2 on all of the tasks? Not sure whether I should just give it up and move on...😁

Thank you! All of my tasks were scored above 2 but none were above 3. Hope that helps

That's interesting, all of mine were the same but I've yet to hear anything from DAS. Although they say it's merit order it does seem quite random.

Same for me

Last year people were still getting offers as late as June/July I believe. Still holding out hope lol.

Last year I got an EO offer on the 23rd June and didn’t start until December that year.

But had you received the EOI contact prior to that? Or did it all come together? Thanks!

So I received the expression of interest form on the 23rd June, got an offer in August and started December. The 23rd was the only time I received the EOI form

what did the expression of interest form involve? could you put location preference?

You can only rank regions in order I believe and not specific locations. I pit a location restriction request which was successful but only because I've got 2 Young kids in nursery / school. But even then it was only granted the restriction as a guarantee for 1 year, then they'll review it again.

This year the form asked you to specify cities or regions you would be willing to work in.
