Absolutely not. An independent firm, Boyden, analyzed the 72 files. I would like to think that an independent and professional company conducted a professional and honest analysis. I gather that the independent firm determined that, at this stage, about 12 candidates were promising. I think 12 is an impressive number.
I gather that the selection committee then analyzed the 12 files and retained 10 candidates. The committee operates by consensus. Everyone had the same weight.
When this stage ended, another stage started. Each candidate had to pass a psychometric assessment, and their references were verified.
I think a very rigorous and open process resulted in the selection of an extremely competent person who could deliver the goods.
That's why I'll vote against this motion.
