Former Jersey Chamber of Commerce president Bob Hassell said that a number of recently recruited senior public sector appointees had moved on ‘without much evidence that they achieved what they were asked to do’.
Writing in the latest edition of the Chamber Online magazine, Mr Hassell said the post holders had also left their jobs ‘rather sooner than expected’.
And he argued that a significant contributing factor for the failure in the process was the use of UK recruitment firms which did not properly take into account ‘local cultural issues’.
Despite these apparent failures, Mr Hassell, who runs Hassell Blampied Associates, said that the public sector continued to persist with the use of UK firms while excluding local practitioners.
