Receivability While staff rule 11.2(c) does not explicitly require written notification, sec. 10.1 of ST/AI/2010/3 does so in cases of non-selection for candidates that had been convoked for assessment. Since the Applicant was convoked for assessment— i.e. she was invited to take the written test—and she was not successful, she had to be notified in writing. Therefore, and although the Applicant became fully aware of her non-selection on 26 May 2016, the Tribunal found that the statutory time limit for the request for management evaluation did not start to run on that day and the application was found receivable. Merits The Tribunal noted that it was appropriate to test technical skills through a written assessment, and to test core/managerial competencies through a competency-based interview. The Tribunal reviewed the questions of the written test and saw no reason to find unreasonable the Respondent’s submission that they were directly relevant to the skills expected for the position. It was also satisfied that the Panel composition complied with sec.1(c) of ST/AI/2010/3. The Tribunal recalled that the candidates’ tests were provided to the Panel members anonymously and found that the Applicant did not provide any element allowing to conclude that the anonymity of the tests was not respected and/or compromised. The Tribunal noted the Applicant was rated below the passing threshold of 70% by all of the Panel members and obtained an average score of 60.3%. The Tribunal was satisfied that the tests of all candidates were evaluated in accordance with pre-established criteria applied by all the Panel members. While the Applicant also questioned the determination of the passing threshold at 70%, the Tribunal considered that such was not subject to judicial review but felt entirely under the Administration’s discretion. The Tribunal found that what was determining is that the threshold, as well as the evaluation criteria, had been pre-established and were applied by the Panel members. In light of the foregoing, the Tribunal was satisfied that the recruitment process was conducted in accordance with ST/AI/2010/3 and that the Applicant’s candidature was given full and fair consideration.
