Interviews
PMD require that a short-listing report be provided as soon as possible after the process has been conducted.
This must be signed off by all panel members (with exceptions and minority reports noted).
Applicants who have not been short-listed will be notified immediately after short-listing report is received. PMD must receive notice (from the date notice received) as follows:
- 1 week notice is required for interviews to be held in person or via teleconference.
- 2 weeks notice is required for interviews to be held via video-conference.
PMD will not action any request outside of these timelines.
Appointments and letters of offer
PMD will produce a Letter of Offer for the new appointee only after all the fully completed selection documentation is received. To ensure accuracy of documentation and depending on PMD workload, this may take up to 5 working days. If the selection committee is aware of any situation that may delay the successful applicant receiving their Letter of Offer (e.g. successful applicant is temporarily out of the country) please ensure that PMD is notified immediately.
It is the responsiblity of the the area to ensure that they are aware of the date that the new employee starts and are suitably prepared.
Appropriate notification periods for internal transfers or recruitment actions must be negotiated with the departing area’s manager. Additionally, the amount of notice required by external candidates to exit current positions must be taken into consideration.
Please note that PMD is not obligated to meet any timeline for processing outside of these conditions. For example, if an area identifies that they want their applicant to start work the following day, PMD is not obligated to increase the priority of processing to meet these demands.
All external applicants who are entitled to relocation as part of their appointment will require a minimum of one month notice to relocate. Those applicants with Immigration processes will require a minimum of eight weeks notice.
