Please note these charges are set for 2007 only and may be subject to change
Process
The employer is responsible for:
- Providing Careers & Employment with an adequate job description and selection criteria
- Accepting initial enquiries from potential applicants seeking further information about the position
- Contacting the successful applicants to arrange interviews
- Advising all applicants on the outcome of the selection process. If required, on the letter advising unsuccessful applicants, the employer can provide the name of the Careers & Employment staff member to contact for feedback on their applications
Careers & Employment will advertise the vacancy on Careers Online, accept applications and then provide the employer with:
