The recruitment and selection process is crucially important to any equal opportunities policy. ISC will endeavour through appropriate training to ensure that employees making selection and recruitment decisions will not discriminate when making these decisions.

• Promotion and advancement will be made on merit and all decisions relating to this will be made within the overall framework and principles of this policy.



• Job descriptions, where used, will be revised to ensure that they are in line with our equal opportunities policy. Job requirements will be reflected accurately in any personnel specifications.



• We will adopt a consistent, non-discriminatory approach to the advertising of vacancies.



• We will not confine our recruitment to areas or media sources which provide only, or mainly, applicants of a particular group.



• All applicants who apply to us for employment will receive fair treatment and will be considered solely on their ability to do the job.



• All employees involved in the recruitment process will periodically review their selection criteria to ensure that they are related to the job requirements and do not unlawfully discriminate.



• Short listing and interviewing will be carried out by more than one person where possible.



• Interview questions will be related to the requirements of the job and will not be of a discriminatory nature.



• We will not disqualify any applicant because he/she is unable to complete an application form unassisted unless personal completion of the form is a valid test of the standard of English required for the safe and effective performance of the job.
