How Our Recruitment Process Works
1. Reviewing the Role
Before advertising a role, the recruiting officer reviews the role description and completes an Equality Impact Assessment to help make sure the recruitment process is fair and accessible.
2. Anonymous Applications
Personal information is removed from applications before they are reviewed. This helps reduce bias and keeps the process fair.
3. Assessing Applications
At least two people review and score each application, including the recruiting officer.
Applications are checked against the criteria in the role description. Reviewers will decide whether the information given by the applicant in their application form:
- Meets the criteria.
- Needs to provide more evidence.
- Does not meet the criteria.
4. Shortlisting for Interview
Applicants who submit an Offer an Interview Form and meet at least 80% of the essential requirements will be included on the interview shortlist.
5. Important to Know
Submitting an Offer an Interview Form does not automatically mean someone will get an interview.
BUT, if you meet all of the below:
- identify as a disabled person,
- submit the Offer an Interview Form with your completed Application Form, and
- meet at least 80% of the minimum criteria identified in the role description,
you will be offered an interview under the scheme.
