The aim of the selection process is to appoint the best person, as defined by the selection criteria, to the post. The majority of NICS competitions generally follow the process outlined below;
Application Validation and Panel Sift Process - After the closing date for the vacancy competition has passed, a process will be carried out to validate information provided on the application forms and to check if candidates meet the eligibility criteria which was provided in the CIB. If appropriate the panel will apply the shortlisting criteria to determine the most suitable candidates to be invited to interview.
