The composition of the selection panel (including any changes to the panel) will be approved by the relevant delegate prior to advertising and requires gender representation with a minimum panel size of three. A larger panel may be used to overcome potential judgement bias. A selection panel must include a minimum of:
- one member from the recruiting faculty or section who is the Panel Coordinator;
- one member from another faculty or section; and
- one additional panel member (either internal or external to USQ).
Other panel members may be included as appropriate.
A panel member from a specialist functional area of the University (eg Finance, ICT, Student Management etc) is required on the selection panel for positions where responsibilities either involve reporting to, or require skills which are best assessed by, these specialist functional areas of the University.
A panel member external to USQ with appropriate specialist knowledge relevant to the vacant position may also be invited to participate on a USQ selection panel. The Panel Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that an external panel member understands and complies with USQ policy and procedures.
To be eligible to participate on a selection panel, USQ employees must have attended formal 'USQ Recruitment and Selection Skills' training. Panel members should attend 'Refresher' training in USQ Recruitment and Selection Skills at least once every two years. |
