Selection Report

(July 2007)

Upon completion of the interview and other assessment processes, the selection panel must prepare a report using the approved Department of Education, Tasmania selection report template [Word 175KB]. The selection report should be submitted to the Director (Human Resources Management) within six weeks of the closing date for applications.

All members of the selection panel should contribute to the report although it is usual for the selection panel convenor to take responsibility for drafting the report. In this regard it is appropriate for panel members to provide the convenor with their interview notes.

Ensure that dissenting member/s prepare a minority report stating reasons for difference of opinion if the panel is unable to reach consensus on the recommended applicant.

All members of the selection panel must sign the report before it is forwarded to the Director (Human Resources Management) for approval.

It is a requirement to provide a comparative assessment on the shortlisted applicants which clearly shows why the nominee was successful over the other applicants.

It is a requirement to provide an individual assessment on each shortlisted applicant. This can be shared with the relevant applicant during post-selection counselling. Individual assessments will not be automatically sent to applicants.

If the recommendation of the panel is that no applicant should be appointed to the position, it is still necessary for a selection report to be written outlining the assessment process followed and the reasons for that recommendation.

All information in relation to the selection process is strictly confidential. Only after the recommendation has been approved by the Director (Human Resources Management) can applicants be advised of the outcome of their application.

Panels should be mindful of the fact that in the case of a review against the selection decision, the selection report will be required to stand up to close scrutiny. As a result all information used in forming the recommendation should be clearly identified in the selection report.

Applicants will then be notified of the outcome.

Employees can access the selection report template using the Forms (A-Z) link in the Quick Links section of the Staff Intranet Homepage.
