I was amazed by how short AIB was and how little emphasis is placed on leadership. As a Pongo I may be biased but AOSB seems a much more holistic process. I think POC should figure much higher on who gets onto the batch rather than an academically weighted AIB.
I suspect there are many at CTC who would probably agree the POC score should be added, weighted or have influence on the AIB score, but I'm fairly certain it isn't.
One of the consequences of the current system of selection is repeated every year when people start flapping that "not enough" people have passed POC & AIB.
By this, they mean they want more people passing both than are actually required.
My argument is that if you want, say 52 YO's, then you stop processing after the first 52 people pass both at an adequate pre-determined level and accept the immediate job offer, thus managing realistic aspirations from the outset.
There's nothing more irksome than an applicant who applies at the last possible juncture, or usually later, then expects everyone to lift heaven and earth to compensate for their lack of foresight and who will blame everyone but themselves for not making the cut in time.
