Sign up for training on the Commission’s Recruitment Principles

Are you new to working in Civil Service HR or would you like refresher training on the Recruitment Principles? Or a Civil Service manager who needs to understand what to do to recruit in compliance with the Principles?

The Commission offers regular online training on the Recruitment Principles which set the framework for all recruitment into the Civil Service. These sessions are intended to support staff using the Recruitment Principles to make appointments on merit after a fair and open competition, and to better understand the role of the independent Commission as the regulator.

The training will cover how to use the Recruitment Principles, Exceptions to appointment on merit, how complaints are handled, what to expect from our audit, and an introduction to the role of our independent Commissioners. There will also be time at the end for any questions.

Our next session will be via MS Teams on 25 November 2 - 3pm
