How are staff recruited in the Commission?
Apart from the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner all other staff members of the Commission are recruited by the Commission. The recruitment process is fair and open and appointment decisions will be based solely on merit. There is no unfair discrimination on the basis of, inter alia, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, ethnicity, community background, political opinion or religious beliefs. Management and executive vacancies will be advertised simultaneously internally and externally to attract the best possible candidates for the position and encourage open competition. Vacancies for positions below this level will be advertised internally first and if no suitable candidate is found, external candidates will be invited to apply. All applicants are subjected to a probity check before, during and at the end of their employment with the Commission. A few members of staff were seconded to the Commission from other institutions.
