Purpose
This policy outlines the arrangements for implementing an expression of interest process at our company following the principles outlined in the company’s Recruitment and Selection Policy.
Scope
This policy applies to all employees and of our company. This policy does not extend to external temporary staffing organisations such as temp agencies or labour-hire companies.
Policy Statement
This policy has been developed to outline the arrangements for filling a position through an expression of interest process within the company. Our company recognises the mutual benefit that can be gained from utilising an expression of interest process to source internal expertise and provide developmental opportunities to employees within the organisation, by providing a clear and transparent framework to recruit and select staff for these opportunities fairly and equitably.
Process
- Where an organisational division wishes to call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) in a particular position or positions, the division may advertise internally to employees in the local division.
- Positions advertised under an EOI process will be open to internal applicants only and the positions may be filled on a fixed-term basis or on a Higher Duties Allowance basis as appropriate.
- In the case of EOIs called for at the local level, the position(s) may also be restricted to a specific group of potential applicants, typically to a functional unit, or to a group or groups of staff at a particular grade, in a functional unit.
An EOI process must be approved by the Human Resources Manager. Appropriate circumstances typically include requests:
- To provide developmental, acting or project-based opportunities to internal employees for temporary or fixed-term positions normally up to twelve months in duration, or
- Arising as part of a change management process, such as in conjunction with a placement process for continuing or fixed-term positions for a unit undergoing restructuring.
EOI processes will normally follow the principles set out in our company’s Recruitment and Selection Policy.
Approvals
All decisions in relation to the application of this policy must be in accordance with the relevant organisational Delegations.
