Accessment centre process
This approach may be used for recruitment to positions into the Ministry of Health. It incorporates a range of assessments in which candidates' performance is observed and rated by a team of qualified assessors. Assessments may include participating in a role play, where candidates are allocated a scenario that closely mirrors a situation that could occur in the role they have applied for.
