How do I ensure appropriate evidence of a compliant hiring round?

Evidence isn’t something you gather at the end. It’s built in from day one.

The MPC’s new promotion review model reviews the entire selection process. That means the evidence standard is not just the selection report, it is the full audit trail.

A compliant round generates, at minimum: the position description and work-related qualities brief; the Gazette notice and advertising record; panel composition and conflict declarations; the process plan; all assessment instruments, including interview questions, written task brief, and rating scales; contemporaneous interview records; individual panel member notes; the deliberation record; referee records; the selection report with reasoning against each quality; and the notification records.

Build this evidence as the round runs, not in retrospect. A round documented in real time is a round that survives review. A round reconstructed after the fact is a round that does not.

Use a single shared evidence folder for every round, with a checklist of required artefacts, populated as each stage completes.
