Investigation launched into Dublin Fire Brigade recruitment following complaints

Dublin City Council has launched an investigation into Dublin Fire Brigade's latest recruitment drive after a number of applicants complained.

Three unsuccessful applicants to join the DFB complained in letters about the recruitment procedure, which is still ongoing. The applicants complained about an interruption to the in-person "verification" test in December which was caused by the servers hosting the test crashing.

All of the candidates were offered an opportunity to take the test again a month later. The testing aspect of the recruitment procedure was carried out by employment agency Staffline.
