Types of Selection Criteria
4.
Qualifications.
A qualification can be a license, rating, registration, membership of a
professional body, trade or educational qualification. Only
those
qualifications needed by employees during the course of their
employment can be included as mandatory qualifications and where a
qualification is essential it must be specified in the selection
documentation. Qualifications can be noted as
“desirable”, and can only be noted as mandatory at
certain levels.
5.
Work related qualities.
Work related qualities can include things like initiative, motivation,
adaptability to change and commitment. Criteria that address work
related qualities will often be criteria that ask for commitment to a
set of workplace values, a code of ethics, a code of conduct or ask an
applicant to demonstrate a personal work style that includes using
initiative, being proactive or displaying a particular focus or
motivation (for example a “strong customer service
focus”).
When writing your selection criteria you should limit the number of
selection criteria to approximately 6. Too many
selection
criteria can serve as a deterrent to potential applicants and creates
more work for the Selection Advisory Committee. As a general
rule
you should include 1-2 specific / technical criteria, and 4-5 generic
criteria.
