Ms Bríd O'Brien:

It comes up in our regional discussion fora but I am not fully sure of the extent of it. I know some people find the online process better because they feel it is more anonymous but others fear it. They do not know what happens if they answer the questions in a certain way. If they do not use the right words, does it mean they are gone? As with many of these newer things, there are pros and cons. We need to get a better handle on what is being asked and why. There is the issue of whether the questions asked are necessary to the job that needs to be filled or whether somebody is just curious and whether that will then be used against the applicant. We need to get a better handle on all of that.
