SAMFS / Re: 2014 Recruitment
« on: January 15, 2014, 09:16:19 PM »
Website has been updated again,

The MFS recruits on a needs basis.  It is currently unknown as to when the next recruitment campaign will commence.

You are therefore encouraged to regularly monitor this website for any updates.

Applications for full time firefighters are only accepted during an active recruitment campaign.

Care has been taken to ensure that this website provides you with all the information you will require.  We therefore ask that you please ensure that you have read all the information provided.

Telephone inquiries will be referred back to this website where necessary.           

How obvious do they have to make it?

With the rumour mill in full flight has anyone actually heard anything if the recruitment process is starting next week, next month or 6 months time?

I spoke with an Army trainer yesterday who is training three guys to try for MFS and he had heard there will be 3 intakes this year.

Who else is training hard and getting keen to try out?

Yeah cos he would know.....
Cant see there being 54 retirements

Lol,

Only thing you can be semi certain on is that their could be one drill squad within 12 months because SAFECOM had put a budget line down for it. Like all government departments if you don't spend your budget it will get cut but in saying that if their haven't been many retirements and guys still floating around as fill ins from the last drill squad it would be lucky to have one drill squad let alone a second one next year if the state election has any effect on funding or retirements.

Sorry guys I didn't get to speak to the guy very long so I can't give exact detail, he did mention when he was a recruitment officer it was before private recruitment companies were involved (I'm guessing Locher) so it may have been 20 years ago and the info may be useless.

If they did interviews over the phone I wonder if they would change the process then as Airservices Australia do their process as follows:

1) Application,
2) Maths, English and Psych tests online,
3) Phone interview,
4) Pat 1, Pat 2 equivalent, medical and interview with recruitment board on one day.

Why do you say their are two appliances out of Gawler, from that message?

Looks like one from Gawler, and one probably out of Elizabeth (perhaps being change of quarters to Elizabeth, from Salisbury)

Pip



Well that's what I think would be the case but their is no response for Elizabeth station so unless Salisbury were already on the road or SA Scan didn't pick up the response. Just asking if something new is being practised otherwise?

I'm not sure Ferret I didn't get to ask the question but the way he was talking maybe around 5 years.

Last week I was lucky enough to meet a retired MFS firefighter who spent 15 years as an recruitment officer and all the testing is pass/ fail, however due to the large number of people who apply guys are missing out by only .5% in testing by someone who scored better.

I am not sure how you will go with NSWRFS but my CFS brigade have had luck with getting things looked into/ fixed by keep putting hazard forms in and it gets looked into after awhile because it keeps becoming a recurring issue.

Search fire fighting without a location. No they currently after structure firefighters to work out of Oakey for Falek at the military base and Corporate Potection Australia and looking for crew members and a team leader to work out on the Surat Basin in Queensland on gas platforms. I know a few paid firefighters and they recommend once you can get a job in the firefighting industry it's fairly easy to get into where you want to go as you have that proven experience.

Ferret and flyonthewall I hope you are getting paid for every time you are having to tell people to see the website as it is getting a bit ridiculous hahaha (Not to be negative).

Although I hope I speak for everyone the information you guys have provided over the past couple of years has been really helpful, Thanks.

aclarky1988 I am right with you it will be my first time applying too.

Hi everyone, I have been following this forum for sometime now but this is my first time commenting. I have been with the CFS for a number of years and a former soldier however the next recruitment will be my first time applying for the MFS.

I see the website has been updated lately saying to monitor from January 2014 but has anyone heard of anything further?
