How we select the best person for the job
The policy of TAFE NSW is to get the best person for the job, by selecting staff through open competition based on merit. Merit is defined in S. 18(2) of the TAFE Commission Act in the following terms:
- 'The merit of persons eligible for appointment or promotion to a vacant position is to be determined having regard to: the nature of the duties of the position; and
- the abilities, qualifications, experience, standard of work performance and personal qualities of those persons that are relevant to the performance of those duties.'
Achieving the aim of getting the best person for the job is based on the following principles:
- Accurate description of positions
- A field of applicants with appropriate skills attracted through advertising
- Applicants having knowledge of the procedures used by TAFE NSW for staff selection
- Selection panels structured to ensure expertise, independence and diversity of backgrounds, opinions and judgement
- Relative merits of applicants assessed against job related staff selection criteria
- EEO principles followed and the objectives of the EEO management plan implemented
- The claims of both TAFE NSW staff members and outside applicants properly assessed, including applicants with overseas qualifications
- Confidentiality of the process maintained and the privacy of all applicants respected
