Shortlisting
Once all applications have been received for an advertised vacancy they are passed to the selection panel for them to review and determine which applicants will be shortlisted for interview.
All applications will be acknowledged in writing within 7 days of the vacancy closing.
The selection committee usually comprises three people and each member of the selection committee reviews all written applications with the purpose of deciding which applicants best demonstrate their ability to meet the selection criteria.
The short listed applicants are usually then interviewed by the selection panel to enable them to expand on their claims that their qualities best match those genuinely required for the vacancy. An interview also provides the applicant with the opportunity to ask any questions which they may have about the vacancy or the organisation.
Applicants can expect the short-listing process to be completed within two weeks of the closing date for the vacancy.
