From: Ian Smith [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx] Sent: 03 March 2009 16:08 To: Hawley, Graeme Subject: Freedom of Information request - How long can successful candidate defer taking up a post Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Blue Dear Sir or Madam, How many times in the last three years (from todays date) have successful interview candidates been able to defer taking up a post with the organisation for more than one month? Can the figures be broken down into periods of: 1-6 months; 6-12 months; 13 months or more. Can you also tell me if there is an upper limit on how long your organisation is willing to allow someone to defer taking up a post. Yours faithfully, Ian Smith ------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This message and any reply that you make will be published on the internet.
