I'm guessing this is a big NO! but considering AO is owned by QF, why can't they use QF shortlisters? surely the recruitment process isn't that different & they would be wanting the same qualities/skills in an applicant (correct me if i'm wrong). it just makes sense to me, but then it would cos i'm on the QF shortlist! Rather than interview more people etc, why not use the QF shortlisters, some who have been waiting well over a year or close to it?
