This FOI release contains email correspondence from May 2022 regarding the shortlisting process for an Executive Director position in the National Recovery and Resilience Agency's Recovery Operations division. Amanda O'Rourke, an executive search consultant, provided shortlisting recommendations to a panel including Tina Hutchison, Nico Padovan, and Viv Johnson. O'Rourke recommended six candidates for interview consideration and identified five additional candidates as possible alternatives, noting the latter group had some relevant claims but lacked the direct experience of the recommended candidates. Panel members subsequently confirmed their agreement with the shortlisting, with Hutchison noting alignment with O'Rourke's recommendations. The meeting to discuss the shortlist was scheduled for 11 May 2022 at 12:30 PM. Significant portions of candidate information have been redacted under section 47F(1) of the Freedom of Information Act.
