1. The HDA endeavours to advertise vacancies in multiple media sources to attract suitable and qualified candidates from designated groups. 2. Recruitment methods include headhunting for top management, and scarce or critical skills. 3. Positions are advertised internally to encourage internal candidates to apply for more senior positions where they meet the minimum requirements. 4. Where possible, positions are filled by internal candidates, however, this is not always possible when the skills are not readily available within the organisation or where the skill set is not in alignment with all the job requirements. 5. The HDA is committed to developing its employees, so they progress to more senior positions or develop in areas beyond their job function. The HDA employees who show potential and display the necessary drive, motivation and competence which support career progression, will be encouraged to study further as part of a defined career-planning process. 6. The staff development strategy supports ongoing training and development opportunities aligned with enhancing job-related skills criteria as well as for career progression. 7. The study assistance programme in the form of bursary agreements to support continuous professional development and career growth is available to staff when approved.
