Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 'Moderation Committee' facilitation involve?

It involves preparing the documentation for departmental committees that review performance ratings to ensure fairness and consistency across the department, recording minutes, and implementing the committee's final decisions.

What should I prepare for the practical assessment?

Expect a test on data consolidation using Excel, drafting a PMDS compliance report, or a simulation of capturing performance scores on a system interface. You may also be asked to interpret a PMDS policy scenario.

Is PERSAL literacy a mandatory requirement for this role?

Yes. PERSAL literacy is a core requirement as the incumbent must capture PMDS reports and process incentives directly on the system. Candidates without prior PERSAL experience may find the technical assessment challenging.
