Create an expression of interest

Use Springboard to manage an internal expression of interest (EOI) to promote via your agency's EOI platform (i.e. intranet and email lists).

You'll get a unique link to a private expression of interest advertisement.

Candidates will be able to apply online, and we'll collect and store your applications in Springboard.

Your panel members will be able to complete shortlisting and feedback online, and your panel chair will be able to create a selection report online and utilise the workflow within Springboard to get it endorsed and approved.

This service is available to all agencies. Contact us, if your agency is interested.

The vacancy must be for less than 12 months.

When completing the Media options to advertise a role form, under the first section, Advertising details, select Springboard expression of interest. This will open additional fields.

You will need to attach the Media options form to the Request to hire form.

Complete the online Request to hire form to initiate a Springboard EOI. Make sure you've completed your Request to hire checklist and have the documents you need, including the Media options form.

Request to hire form

After completing the Request to hire (RTH) form:

  • QSS Recruitment will process your RTH within 3 business days.
  • QSS Recruitment will send the panel chair and hiring manager a private link for candidates to access the EOI advertisement. The vacancy will not appear on Smart jobs and careers and GovNet.
  • The panel chair will use this private link to advertise the vacancy via their agency's EOI platform.
  • QSS Recruitment will send a unique Springboard access link to the panel chair to manage the vacancy.
  • Candidates will submit their application via the private link (as per the current Smart jobs and careers application process). Applications will be stored against the vacancy in Springboard.
  • The panel chair will manage the recruitment process via the Springboard access link, utilising existing functionality in Springboard (i.e. the Request Feedback and Selection Report template functions).
  • The panel chair will complete a Higher duties or relieving at level form (if they fill the role internally and for a defined period) or a My.Appointment form (if they fill the role permanently, as a temporary appointment, or secondment).

Complete the Close a recruitment vacancy form when you fill the vacancy. This notifies QSS Recruitment to close the vacancy in Springboard and send an email notification to unsuccessful candidates (if requested).

If you don't fill the role, still complete the Close a recruitment vacancy form to notify QSS Recruitment to close the vacancy in Springboard.
