Example conversation

You: We need a recruitment policy for our healthcare service that meets HIQA Theme 6—roles, checks, Garda vetting, induction.

Agent: I’ll use the NSSBH Theme 6 reference. I’ll draft a recruitment policy covering: job descriptions and person specifications; advertising and shortlisting; selection and interviews; pre-employment checks (references, Garda vetting where required); equality; induction; and record-keeping. I’ll link induction to your training policy.
