Progress with reservations

Credible operational leadership at single-site scale. Budget accountability was not established after probing and should be validated at the next stage.

Requirement coverage78%

Three strongest demonstrated capabilities

Clear accreditation preparation method (Q2)
Strong stakeholder handling under roster change (Q5)

Areas still requiring validation

Budget accountability unresolved after the permitted second attempt — recorded as an anomaly (Q3, Q4)
Scope is single-site; role requires four sites (Q1)
Two review-level session signals recorded during the budget question

Your questions

Asked verbatim, in your words, during the interview.

What is the largest financial delegation you have personally held, and who approved spend above it?

Insufficient

As I mentioned, it varied. I'd have to check what the formal limit on my position description was…

We are moving to a single rostering platform across all four sites next year. Have you led a system migration of that kind, and what went wrong?

Partial

I was part of the working group when Fitzroy moved to electronic rostering. The vendor ran the migration and we tested it…

Points we could not establish

Each was asked, then asked once more. They are unresolved questions for your next stage, not findings against the candidate.

CV claim: 'Managed departmental budget'
Asked twice. Both responses described a shared approval process and avoided a specific delegation figure, including when asked directly. The claim is neither confirmed nor disproved — what the interview shows is that personal financial authority could not be established in the candidate's own words.
Client question: largest financial delegation held
The client's must-ask question was put verbatim and answered with a deferral to a position description. No follow-up was permitted because the same subject had already reached its two-attempt cap.

Your decision on this candidate

Tell the agency what you decided and why. It takes about twenty seconds, it stops the same mismatch recurring on the next shortlist, and it is what lets anyone check whether these assessments are actually predicting well.

What drove that? Choose any that apply.

Anything else the agency should know

Your debrief is shared with the agency, not with the candidate. If you disagree with the assessment, say so — disagreements are the most useful thing in here.
