Guidance on shortlisting and interviewing candidates.
Setting up a selection panel
Decide who will shortlist and interview job applicants. The panel should:
- consist of at least two people to decrease bias. It’s also easier for one person to take notes while the other is asking questions.
- include at least one person who has attended safer recruitment training within the last five years. To find out more about safer recruitment training email lado.training@oxfordshire.gov.uk or see the Safeguarding Training page.
The panel must agree the shortlisting criteria from the job description.
