Important steps in establishing an ISAC
A successful ISAC is based on partnering and preparation.
ISACs are especially useful for small agencies and specialised roles with small pools of candidates or, large bulk rounds across multiple locations and skillsets.
Example: an approach used in a bulk round selection exercise with an APS agency.
Outcomes include high quality staff AND a cost-effective approach that supports the professionalism of the agency.
Costs are determined on a direct cost-recovered basis. No procurement arrangement is necessary to access these services.
