Dear James
Official Information Request
Our ref: PSCR 2024-0208
I refer to your official information request dated 17 December 2025 where you asked:
“
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.”.
The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day that we received your request. Unfortunately, it wil not
be possible to meet that time limit and we are, therefore, writing to notify you of an extension of
the time to make our decision, to 19 February 2025.
We wil keep you updated on the progress of our response to your request.
This 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.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free
to contact Ministerial Services a
t [email address].
