A selection panel cannot include prior knowledge of an applicant in the selection process

It is unreasonable and unfair to expect a selection panel member not to incorporate their knowledge of an applicant in the selection process. 

Pretending that you do not have firsthand knowledge about an applicant’s ability to undertake the role is unrealistic.  Instead of asking the applicant known to the panel to prove what you already know they can do, why not give those applicants who you don’t know, the opportunity to provide you with the evidence that they can perform the duties of the role?

REMEMBER - Treat each applicant fairly and ensure that all applicants are given the opportunity to prove their claims against the role.
