Picking the Scab of Recruitment - Part 1 'The Applicant'
Manage episode 471889819 series 3490290
Drawing on overwhelming feedback from our listeners, in this episode we unpack the experience of being recruited into the public sector (or ghosted along the way).
Danielle takes us through
- What goes in Role Descriptions (hint: it shouldn't be slabs of legislation)
- The madness of defined requirements like 'driving' and 'interstate travel' (and whether Caroline's sister can really change a tyre)
- Alison's idea of an X factor style button for use in interviews when it's immediately clear this isn't working for anyone
We finish with a listener description of a mad recruitment process that ends with, you guessed, it, ghosting.
Thanks to Mary, our mug winner for this episode, for a great story!
Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....
While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.
If you want rigorous reporting on Robodebt, we recommend the work of Rick Morton at the Saturday Paper, Chris Knaus and Luke Henriques-Gomes at the Guardian, Ben Eltham at Crikey, Julian Bajkowski at The Mandarin, and of course, the Robodebt Royal Commission itself.
Please feel free to email us corrections, episode suggestions, or anything else, at [email protected].
Thanks to PanPot audio for our intro and outro music.
