ESITO - Recruitment Toolkit

Recruitment Toolkit

This toolkit has been designed to assist managers during the recruitment, selection and development of Contract and Project Managers.

The tools have been developed based on the High Performance Profile (see below) for the roles of Contract and Project Managers in the Electricity Service Industry. For more information on the process conducted to develop the High Performance Profile, please download the following report.

Four sections of the toolkit

Section One: Interviewing
Section Two: Testing
Section Three: Reference Checking
Section Four: Making the Decision
Section Five: Development

Using this profile and the associated tools will help ensure selection decisions are made based on job fit rather than just technical experience.

Within each section you will find forms in Microsoft Word format for customisation in your organisation.
