The Commission has prepared a recommended Code of Procedures on Recruitment and Selection for all councils to follow and assists local government with its recruitment and selection practices by:

  • Continuously improving the Code of Procedures on Recruitment and Selection to ensure that councils and the NIHE have effective recruitment practices which treat all applicants fairly and equally
  • Providing advice to councils on implementing the Code of Procedures on Recruitment and Selection
  • Independently administering recruitment processes, if required
  • Sending Observers to panels for senior posts in councils and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) to ensure that the Code of Procedures on Recruitment and Selection is being implemented.
