Dear Public Service Commission,
How many Chief Executive or leadership positions has the PSC recruited for in 2024?
How many positions were existing and how many were positions established in July 2023 or later?
Please provide the salary range candidates were advised of for each position. If candidates were not advised, please provide the salary range PSC was advised of by the Ministry or agency requiring the appointment.
Did the PSC run more than one recruitment round for any position since July 2023? If so, please state which position and the number of recruitment rounds.
Does the PSC use contractors to support executive recruitment? If so, please state which position(s) contractors were used, the name of the contractor, and the cost of the contractor in each instance since July 2023. This should include the total hourly pay and placement fees.
Yours faithfully,
James Webb

Public Service Commission
Hello James
As outlined in our letter to you dated 5 February 2025, the extension is
necessary because consultations needed to make a decision on your request
are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the
original time limit.
We will provide our response to your OIA request on or before 19 February
2025.
Kind regards

Dear Enquiries,
Thank you for your response.
Regarding part 3 I did not ask what was publicly advertised, I asked what candidates were advised. For example if they enquired or if an offer was made. Similarly I asked what the PSC was advised as part of their recruitment process. If you are refusing it on grounds that it does not exist, that means that no agency indicated what the role salary range was. Can you please clarify for me? Does the PSC then determine the salary based on size of role as you say? Is this number reached without consultation with the agency you are recruiting for?
Yours sincerely,
James Webb
