Issue
Whether or not it is within Civil Service laws and regulations the act of the Personnel Selection Board (PSB) of a certain Government Owned and Control Corporations (GOCCs)to change the Qualification Standards (QS) after it has conducted the exam and actual personal interview of "qualified" candidates.
Facts
A certain GOCC has opened its plantilla (regular/permanent) position---Corporate Staff Specialist-A (CSS-A) with a graduate of Bachelor of Laws (LLB) or Economics as the original QS. I applied said position being an LLB Graduate.
There were more or less eight (
interested applicants vying for the position. We took the qualifying exams, passed the same and were short listed for interview of exactly six (6) members of the PSB, including three (3) Vice-Presidents of the Corporation, namely VP of the end-user group, VP-Admin and Finance Group, and VP-Legal Group], one (1) Department Manager, who is the end-user of the CSS-A position, one (1) representative from the existing Union and one (1) Division Manager from Human Resources Division. After the deliberation and without formal notice to the qualified applicants, I learned (from re-posting of the same position I had applied) that the PSB has changed the QS of the position it has posted before---from being an LLB or Economic Graduate to Lawyer. An afterthought, basically.
Is the PSB correct in changing the QS? Why did it have to undertake the exam and the interview if they have in mind they need lawyer for that position?
Kindly consider this inquiry as CONFIDENTIAL.
I highly appreciate receiving clarification soon.
Gratitude!
