Example of a multi-stage assessment process for a talent pool

The PSC established a Public Service talent pool for a Policy Officer Clerk 7/8 role.

This involved 3 stages to establish the talent pool with decision points at each stage. This took the candidate pool from 415 at Stage 1 to 48 candidates in the talent pool after Stage 3.

Stage 4 and 5 allow agencies to recruit candidates for ongoing or temporary employment by doing interviews for fit (organisation/team/culture) and referee checks.
