You will have already received an email from us during July offering a Career Review and Planning Assessment, valued at $1,150 if you refer a candidate to us who is subsequently successfully placed at the Ministry on the basis of that referral.

Many thanks to the many who have responded already. We were delighted that so many of you are interested in helping your friends and colleagues progress their careers.

The great news is that we currently have lots of people being interviewed for the 20 Senior Policy Analyst and 25 Policy Analyst vacancies. However we know that there will still be opportunities available at Senior Policy Analyst level at the end of the first stage of the recruitment process.

As they say – a month is a long time in a policy career, so we are offering you another chance to refer a friend. If you do refer a candidate to us who is subsequently successfully placed at the Ministry on the basis of that referral, then we are offering a Career Review and Planning Assessment, valued at $1150. The Assessment looks at your career strategically, and how to develop within your organisation.

• One hour (approximately) of consulting / feedback services with trained professional career coach

You can also add an hour of interview preparation and practical market discussion with an accredited recruitment consultant when the time is right for you to make your next transition.
