Recruitment Monitoring Scheme
Applicants for posts are asked to complete a voluntary monitoring form and scheme administrators return a separate form, recording the results of the selection, to the University's Equality and Diversity Unit. A fundamental principle of the scheme is that the monitoring information is kept entirely confidential. Details from the applicants' forms are therefore not made available to scheme administrators, and details identifying individual applicants are not included in information sent by scheme administrators to the Equality and Diversity Unit. Unique identification numbers allocated to each post and to each applicant enable the production of anonymous monitoring statistics.
Errors made in the operation of the scheme result in loss of information and administrative time spent following-up data. For this reason the scheme has been designed to be as administratively simple as possible.
The development of the recruitment module of OPENdoor offers departments the opportunity to produce recruitment monitoring forms via this recruitment package. Benefits to users include the automatic generation of vacancy and applicant reference numbers, use of data keyed in as part of the recruitment process, and printed M1, M2 and M3 forms. Full details on how to use the Equality and Diversity recruitment monitoring facilities in the OPENdoor Recruitment module can be obtained by emailing the opendoor.support@admin.ox.ac.uk or telephoning them on (2)87900.
