Summary

We're seeking evidence on how common closed recruitment is in the public sector, including whether it is ever used inappropriately.

This consultation ran from
1pm on 25 January 2016 to 11:45pm on 15 April 2016

Consultation description

The government wants to open up public sector recruitment, to ensure that the best people can be hired for the job.

This call for evidence is to gather information on the use of internal-only recruitment in the public sector, including whether it is ever ineffectively or inappropriately used. We are also seeking views on the role for government in encouraging more open recruitment.
