Hi Jonathan, I'd just like to correct your statement that these jobs were only available to internal candidates, in fact they were open to anybody and that is why I circulated details of them to the BBC Backstage list.
There was a slight mix-up on the day they appeared, as the BBC Jobs team inadvertently forgot to flag them as externally visible. Some list members kindly made me aware of this, and the problem was fixed on the same day. Unfortunately the closing date for applications has now passed, so the posts are no longer on the BBC Jobs site, or in Ariel. However, new jobs are often posted in the same area, so keep an eye on it if you are interested. Furthermore, I must address your implication of unfairness in our recruitment strategy, specifically the favouring of 'friends' over other candidates. This is absolutely not the case, we follow a rigorous fair selection process when hiring all of our staff, and this was no exception. I hope this has cleared up any misunderstanding that may have occurred, and I apologise if I was not clear in any of my previous emails about this matter. All the best, Stephen Elson Client-Side Development Team Leader BBC Learning & Interactive Rm 2531, White City, W12 7TS Tel:020 87527048 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonathan Chetwynd Sent: 14 October 2005 07:19 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] Developer jobs Richard, these posts are only available to internal candidates, and their friends, didn't you know? cheers Jonathan Chetwynd Accessibility Consultant on Learning Disabilities and the Internet 29 Crimsworth Road SW8 4RJ 020 7978 1764 - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
