Yes, the bog standard HR process was a bureaucratic pain the backside
- you were not the only person to point it out. ;-)

Yes, I knew that (but I didn't make an issue of it, not that anything could be done). What I might add, because it does supply context for WMUK's involvement in this whole area, is that I sought feedback, as well as travel expenses.

To do the BL justice, the system there proved somewhat glitchy, but after chasing, I did get both. So what I said before about what they were looking for is not entirely inference from the interview. It is based also on their feedback (on the relationship between the questions and the shortlisting).

I haven't brought any of this up before, but it does appear somewhat on-topic now. I also had a chat with Andrew Gray about it all, though that really only addressed what they thought they were doing about COI. Which doesn't seem to have been major stuff in the BL's eyes.

Bottom line: without WMUK having their finger in the pie, process and aims of a WiR are entirely down to the institution.
