All internal applicants must be interviewed

Just because someone works internally does not automatically make them right for the job. There is no rule that says you must interview all internal applicants. Short listed applicants, be they internal or external, should have been able to demonstrate in their application their ability to meet the selection criteria to a level which warrants further investigation.

All external and internal applicants should be assessed using the same short listing methods and criteria.

REMEMBER - Internal applicants who are not short-listed should be treated fairly and informed of the decision to not short list them prior to the interviews occurring. This is especially so when non short listed internal applicants are in the same work area as other internal applicants who may have been short listed.
