"The brief given to Jan Rose was not the standard recruitment and selection model that exists for most companies but required Jan to reinvent the concept of the 'right attitude' being the first principle of merit. In order for Jan to understand her clients' needs, she undertook significant consultation with key players and often attended meetings outside of normal work time to ensure she had understood our requirements.
The finished product is a recruitment and selection model not existing anywhere else in the Queensland Local Government sphere.
Jan was able to achieve a very positive outcome in relation to the brief and to bring about this new model required more than a standard policy, procedure, lesson plan and presentation, and the 60 plus officers who attended this course now have a far deeper appreciation of recruitment and selection beyond simple process.
Using her extensive range of skills and experience. Jan was able to explore the conflicting dynamics within the recruitment and selection discipline; the conflict between merit and the 'right' person; the conflict between technical versus attitudinal fit; the conflict between compliance with the legislation and the need to fill vacancies in short timeframes to avoid the loss of talented candidates and the conflict between well deserving agency staff and long term permanent staff who had lost their performance edge.
Council is highly satisfied with the skills and abilities brought to the role for this particular recruitment and selection project, but more than her skills and abilities, the standout characteristic identified by this Council, was Jan's desire, passion and commitment. Too often these qualities are lost in the expediency of making a quick dollar, using off the shelf packages."
