Dear Ministry of Health,
I noted on your recent reply- Ref: H2025074907
As this role was a reappointment, there was no advertisement for this position. However, the following was completed: • Conflicts of interest declaration form • Online presence checks • Verification of education/qualifications • Ministry of Justice conviction check.
Can you please specify how you conduct the • Online presence checks and Verification of education/qualifications.
I noted on your another recent reply- H2025074652
"The Ministry received nine applications in total for the vacancy advertised. Please note that the Ministry is still in the shortlisting process and has not decided which applicants to interview. "
Could you confirm the total number of vacancies available in this round? Also, from the nine applications you’ve received, how many candidates do you plan to shortlist and how many will you be interviewing? Additionally, do you have a usual or standard ratio for this process, for example, for one vacancy, how many applicants would you typically shortlist and how many would you interview?
Yours faithfully,
