Scribing
A great scribe can be an exceptionally valuable tool during a selection process, allowing all members of the panel to focus on the candidate’s responses, ensuring a quick turnaround for finalisation of the selection report, and getting that bum on the seat.
Enlisting the services of a scribe allows time-poor Managers to efficiently sign off a selection process, with comprehensive interview notes and a professional selection report to provide weight behind the merit of a selection process and get back to their day job swiftly.
When looking for a scribe, it is important to find one with the background suited to your organisation. State Service organisations in particular have certain needs that are required to be met in the event of an appeal. A scribe may wear more hats than you think during a selection process, they don’t simply finalise the selection report! A good scribe will possess a unique skill set and enlisting one with a professional HR background will add more value as they are able to take a further load off the panel members by conducting additional recruitment services, such as references, if required.
A successful scribe will have exceptional time management and the ability to work to tight deadlines, at BelRose we turn your report around in 24 hours!

A scribe can help when panel members need to concentrate on candidates while maintaining a clear record of interviews and the selection process. It can also reduce the time managers spend preparing the report.
What documents can a scribe prepare?
