This toolkit has been developed primarily to assist governance officers in departments who are responsible for supporting government to appoint Directors to public entity Boards.
Where an entity is established through legislation it is important to be clear about any provisions that may affect the way in which a candidate is appointed.
Role analysis is critical to recruitment and selection, as it is the foundation of a high quality process. It informs the role description and identifies the selection criteria.
Advertising a position can help departments and entities to reach a much wider audience than other methods and may attract nominations from unexpected sources.
