The drivers have to reapply for their own positions, if HR like you, the ad is written for you, if not, well it is inconvenient. Is it a waste of money, well of course it is.
If they are really looking from a general pool for a position that is not 99.99% filled then what ever the CP or his rep likes will be ignored by a committee of Government HR Gurus from a car dealership who will ask you illegal questions about your family life, religion etc. (HR Guru's fail !!)
There are some good folks in there, but they just do their thing and have given up.
This whole process must waste $10,000 plus
But this is the price of contracts........ not full time employment by the QLD Gov.
