Selection Day

If shortlisted, candidates are invited to a selection day, which may consist of a panel interview or an interview with another assessment tool, such as a role play and/or situational questioning.

Candidates will be expected to demonstrate the qualities and abilities required.

We will tell you the following selection day details in advance:

• the date and time;
• the location;
• the format of your selection day; and
• the Selection Panel members.

When you arrive at the venue, our Candidate Services Team (CST) will meet you and will look after during your visit. 

Panel report

Panel members assess all the information about each candidate (application form, references, role play/presentation/situational questions - if applicable - and interview) and agree which candidate(s) best meets the required qualities. The panel chair then completes a report providing an overall panel assessment. This assessment forms part of the information presented to the Commission. The Commission then decides which candidates to recommend to the Lord Chancellor for appointment.
