Dear Ministerial Services,
Thank you for your response.
I would like to request clarification/additional information on the following points:
A) Can you please confirm that a candidates work history is *not* considered during the evaluation of their application. For example - a role is advertised, and someone with years of experience in that role applies, as does someone with no experience in that role at all. Their applications are identical, bar the difference in experience on their CVs. The person with experience is not offered an interview, while the person with no experience is offered an interview, and the role, suggesting that work history and experience is not considered. Assuming the applications were identical bar experience, is there more to the evaluation of these applications than is being stated here? Or is this a material process failure by Talent Pathways?
B) You state that the Talent Pathways team consists of experienced recruiters. Can you identify the prior recruitment experience of your staff at the inception of Talent Pathways in 2020; i.e., were they external hires coming from a recruitment background, or were they casual Police staff deployed from other projects unrelated to recruitment?
D) You state that the Talent Pathways team spends time with various workgroups to ensure they have an understanding of the needs of the many workgroups within the NZ Police. Can you please provide a list of the workgroups Talent Pathways has spent time with to ensure your recruiters are aware of the needs within those workgroups.
Yours sincerely,
Mel G
