Having an independent panel member provides an external perspective and impartiality in the assessment of candidates during the selection process.
As an external panel member, we are not influenced by previous working relationships or knowledge of an individual’s past or present performance.
An independent consultant’s perspective is based on evidence gathered through the selection process. It may also involve broadening the scope of the interview in order to avoid unconscious bias and undue emphasis being given to any one element in the candidate specification.
