RESIGNATIONS
Once an employee has resigned and the resignation is accepted, an exit interview shall be held. The person concerned shall will discuss the reasons for the resignation and the most appropriate procedure to follow going forward with his/her manager (of if preferred, with any other senior person within the organisation) and whether or not the vacant post should be filled.

NEW POSITIONS
All new positions must be approved and budgeted for, provided that a comprehensive job description and motivation have been presented to Senior Management.
RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
Advertising
All vacancies shall first be advertised internally and internal candidates considered before external advertisements are placed.
Recruitment agencies may only be used with prior consent from management.
Advertisements should be placed in representative media; may not contain any discriminatory and/or any irrelevant criteria, and should clearly indicate the closing date for applications.
Selection
The recruitment and selection process shall be based solely on applicable competencies and inherent requirements of the job (the requirements in terms of qualifications, experience and competencies must be agreed on before the selection process starts).
Candidates from the Previously Disadvantaged Groups shall be given preference, but all candidates shall be assessed against the set criteria, allowing for a reasonable period of time (at most six months) for the person to acquire the skills required to do the job.
Applicants shall be shortlisted and interviewed by the relevant managers, and shall be as representative as possible.
Prior to the interviews, an agenda should be compiled by the relevant managers, and the same selection procedures and questions shall be applied consistently for each candidate applying for the same position. A standard list of questions must be compiled by the interviewing panel before the start of the interviewing process. Questions that the Company will avoid in the interviewing process, include those relating to the following (unless a valid reason exist i.e. dangerous work unsuitable for pregnant women):
Age;
Race;
Religion;
Pregnancy;
Marital status;
Sexual orientation;
Number of dependants.
After the interview, the panel shall recommend the most suitable candidate(s) for the position.
Reference checks shall only be carried out for shortlisted candidates in order to substantiate the following:
Name and designation of the person giving the reference;
Confirmation of the applicant’s employment history, including date of appointment in current position;
The applicant’s position and remuneration details, and the job requirements and key performance areas of the applicant’s current position.
Assessment of the employee’s performance and conduct.

LETTER OF REGRET
Letters of regret shall be issued to all unsuccessful applicants, irrespective of whether they had been interviewed, except in the case where the advertisement mentions that the Company shall only contact shortlisted candidates (for example, by stipulating that if an applicant has not heard from the advertiser within three weeks after the closing date, he / she should assume that his / her application had been unsuccessful).
If an application by an internal applicant is unsuccessful, he / she shall be given an opportunity to meet with his/her immediate supervisor to discuss the reasons why his / her application was not successful.
