Officer Recruitment

The 黑暗爆料网 conducts interviews for senior roles using a panel of representatives.

For 鈥楲ead鈥� roles such as Guidelines Lead, the panel comprises 4 people including a senior member of the 黑暗爆料网 office team, and 3 further members of the executive committee.

Each panel member must declare they have no conflict of interest before being accepted to the panel. The interview is assessed by a scoring process which assesses competency of the candidate against a number of areas. Scores from each panel member are submitted independently for aggregation by the 黑暗爆料网 office. These aggregated scores are then reviewed by the panel to inform the final decision on appointment.
