The Commission concluded that weak recruitment could expose agencies to corruption and damage productivity, morale, reputation and public confidence.
It urged agencies to assess candidates’ integrity, manage conflicts, conduct screening and document each recruitment stage.
In the body's own words
- Conclusion
Consideration of a candidate’s merit for a position should include assessing the candidate’s integrity.
- Recommendation
Public officers involved in recruitment should identify, declare and manage conflicts of interest.
Findings and recommendations
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
No findings or recommendations are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Published responses
No published response was found.
