• Appropriate recruitment methods should be considered. This may depend on
the position itself.
Selection:
The responsibility for the final decision in selection processes rests with the
Human Resources Manager. The selection panel recommends which
applicant should be selected and the Human Resources Manager reviews
this information and makes the final decision.
• The recommendation of the selection panel is consistent with the merit principle
(i.e. is clearly based on overall suitability having regard to knowledge, skill,
experience and qualification, and potential for future development) and
supported by evidence and examples including verification from well-placed
referees
• The written explanation of the decision is clear, understandable, and well

explained in terms of the merit of the selected applicant with specific reference
to work history, experience, previous levels, qualifications, skill.
The Human Resources Manager should ensure that they can be satisfied,
based on the information in the report, that the person selected has an
appropriate level of experience and skill for the vacancy in question and
that the decision is backed up by sufficient evidence, including reports from
relevant referees.
The Human Resources Manager should take note of any dissenting views
by a panel member and may wish to explore this further before supporting
the recommendation for selection. If the Human Resources Manager has
concerns or does not agree with the selection panel’s recommendation,
the selection report should be returned to the selection panel explaining
the reservations. The selection panel is then required to better explain its
reasons for their decision. The Human Resources Manager may instruct
the selection panel to seek further and additional evidence to support the
appointment of an applicant if required.
When the Human Resources Manager approves the recommendation, they
should also review the document summarising the merit of the selected
applicant. The report is not to contain adverse information about the
selected applicant, and the Human Resources Manager should act as a
further safeguard in this sense, and ensure that the report does not include
any negative information.
• HR officer will help Line Manager to select the appropriate candidate by short-
listing the candidates. HR officer will use the technology to shorten the time
needed to short-list
• Line Manager will make the final call on the selection of the candidates for

the background of the candidates before making selection. Report on the reference
checking will be informed to both Line Manager and HR Manager
 Line Manager will make the final call on which candidate to be chosen for the position, and
HR officer will inform both successful and unsuccessful candidate of the decision
Appointments:
• The selected candidate will be forwarded a letter of offer and a contract for
signing.
Induction:
• Provide additional training. Will need to get more training so the new staffs could
get more knowledge
• Job description explanation need to be clearer. The explanation needs to be

more detailed

inclusiveness will be part of the culture, so there will be less discrimination in the
process
