Recruitment & selection policy
Every appointment made through this platform follows the Public Services (Management) Act and the General Orders on recruitment and selection.
Merit is the only basis for selection
Candidates are assessed against the published essential and desirable criteria for the position and nothing else. Essential criteria are pass or fail at eligibility screening.
Open and transparent advertising
Vacancies are advertised publicly with the reference code, agency, grade, location, duties and closing date. Applications cannot be lodged after the advertised closing time.
Panels and conflicts of interest
Selection panels are constituted before shortlisting. Every panel member declares any conflict of interest before they see a candidate's material, and a conflicted member takes no part in scoring.
Records and review
Each stage is recorded on the RS-series forms and retained on the recruitment file. Unsuccessful applicants may lodge a grievance within the published appeal window.
