The Search and Screening Process

A Faculty Screening Committee shall be appointed to :

• Prepare and authorise publication of an advertisement based on selection criteria which directs applicants to address the criteria.
• Identify potential applicants to whom direct approaches may be made and senior colleagues and acquaintances who may be in a position to identify or recommend potential applicants. Particular attention should be given in this search process to the possibility of identifying qualified female applicants.
• Authorise approaches to be made.
• Review applications received and identify a short-list of candidates with a prima facie case for appointment to the position. Local or known candidates should not be short-listed unless such a case can be made.
• Submit a report to the Selection Committee, clearly identifying which of the applicants the Faculty Screening Committee believes should be shortlisted for further consideration by the Selection Committee.
