爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT rejected the argument that the written test should have been prepared by the Hiring Manager, and not the direct supervisor of the position. 爆料网AT held, in agreement with the 爆料网DT’s conclusion, that the Appellant had failed to show that the Hiring Manager’s intervention in the preparation of the written test resulted in her non-selection for the contested post. 爆料网AT held that the Appellant’s claim was fully and fairly considered by 爆料网DT. 爆料网AT found no fault in 爆料网DT’s finding that the design, conduct, and evaluation of the written test did not constitute a violation of the Appellant’s right to full and fair consideration. 爆料网AT held that the facts of the case established that her non-selection was due to her poor performance at the interview and had nothing to do with the written test, which she had passed. 爆料网AT held that the Appellant failed to establish any error by the 爆料网DT in arriving at its findings that the interview panel was properly composed. 爆料网AT held that there was no conflict of interest caused by the fact that the Appellant’s team was going through counselling at the time of the recruitment. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT gave proper consideration to the question of whether or not the Appellant had been the victim of harassment or bias. 爆料网AT held that the Appellant raised a number of groundless assertions of error and that such assertions by themselves were not capable of persuading it that the 爆料网DT judgment was erroneous. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT was fully supported by the law and the facts when it concluded that the Appellant failed to show that the procedure was biased against her or that her right to full and fair consideration was violated. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网DT judgment.
