Time Frame
The selection process is dependent on the availability of a number of parties, ie selection advisory panel, applicants and referees. Although all efforts are taken to complete the process in as short a time frame as possible, unforeseen circumstances may prolong the procedure.
Successful applicants
Once a selection is made by the panel and approved by the Chief Executive Officer or delegate, the successful applicant is advised and a letter formally offering the job is sent to them.
Unsuccessful applicants
Applicants who have not been successful will be advised in writing. This letter will include details about obtaining feedback from the panel.
Getting feedback from the panel
Post-selection feedback is an integral part of the selection process and is available to all applicants. Applicants are encouraged to ask for post-selection feedback to provide an understanding of the panels assessment in relation to the selection criteria. Feedback can provide applicants with information about their individual performance in the assessment process and can be a positive tool for their career development.
The information provided is based on the applicant's:
- assessment against the selection criteria
- strengths and areas for improvement
- gaps identified in comparison with the selected applicant.
What if I am unhappy with the selection process?
If you are unhappy with any aspect of the selection process you should contact the selection advisory panel in the first instance to seek advice and to discuss your options.
If you are an internal applicant you may also seek advice from your agency Human Resource specialist or from the Promotions Appeals Board and Grievance Review.
