Subject: Official Information request - Social media job ad and staff Culture/Engagement measurements for the Marketing Communications team

Dear Wellington City Council,

Referencing the Social Media job ad posted on your website on 3 February 2020, and screen-captured in this tweet: https://twitter.com/chamfy/status/122417...

I would like to know:
1. What are the last 3 scores/measurements/reports for culture/engagement for the Marketing Communications team
2. A comparison of the answer to question 1 to the average score across the organisation, and any commentary on differences
3. Whether the job ad referenced above was done in partnership with a recruitment firm (if so, which one)?
4. Whether the job ad referenced above was approved by HR or whether this is not part of your process?
5. Does the HR department think that the tone of the job ad supports the kind of culture that WCC aims for?
6. Whether or not the job ad was prematurely taken down, and if so, why?
7. Details on the "robust and challenging appointment process" that candidates would be put through.

Yours faithfully,
Marriam Ward
