"It has sometimes been found that part of the screening process took place in the case of applicants by way of a 'telephone interview'," which was not fully understood before, and has no recollection of the recruitment rules or the recruitment route document. The procedure was not always documented in writing, and was sometimes used as a means of screening candidates after they were found to meet the threshold conditions, "the report said.
Employees who do not meet threshold conditions were accepted
"The audit revealed that there is no record explaining why sometimes candidates who met the threshold conditions were not invited for an interview, but candidates who did not meet the threshold conditions for a particular position - were interviewed and even accepted for the position. The reasons for the selection teams' decisions were not always clear, for example. She made an inquiry about the procedure used to select a legacy network administrator, because there is "very poor documentation" and that there is no reasoning for not accepting any candidate and candidate. "
A look at the manpower system also reveals that it is not always possible to know why candidates, whom the selection teams interviewed and found to be suitable for work in a corporation, were not finally accepted, and it is not known why other candidates were favored.
For example, for a candidate interviewed for a news editor position in March 2017, it reads: "Examine its suitability subject to quotas and other candidates." In April 2017, the candidate received a negative answer, but from the information available in the computerized system there is no way to know why another candidate has been favored. "
In the report, CEO Eldad Koblenz argues that great efforts have been made to improve and streamline recruitment procedures and that since the establishment of the corporation, significant moves have been made and improvements have been made in the field of recruiting personnel.
"Boring and old-fashioned - it's better not to take it"
In August 2018, the insulting and degrading lists and descriptions received by the Authority's symbols and other employees were reported in Haaretz. Among other things, it reads: "Arab, best of the oldest on the floor. Which means: Medium Plus ";" Only if you have to - gray, boring, gossip and a lot of grumble ";" boring, archaic and outdated - don't take if you go for innovation and rebranding ", and more.
The lists drew great criticism against the corporation, and the comptroller also referred to them: Abusive and disgraceful about their age, origin, character, appearance, weight, and marital status. "

The second VP told the State Comptroller's Office in November 2018 that they wanted to erase any abusive words in the said lists in order to maintain their dignity. The corporation's CEO also told the State Comptroller's Office in August 2018 that he had instructed to delete offensive statements in the lists , And that the recommendations were passed on to the corporation as part of the hiring process. However, he was unable to locate her written reference to it. "
On the other hand, the auditor notes the success of establishing the corporation under the most difficult conditions and also notes the improvement in the recruitment procedures.
It says: "These are events from the most complex establishment period in the history of Israeli media, which involved thousands of short-term interviews, frequent changes to the start date and the quota required by law. The law stipulated that recruitment during this period is exempt from a tender obligation, and the corporation nevertheless took screening procedures to recruit the most qualified employees. The State Comptroller found it appropriate to state positively to the heads of the corporation for their success in establishing the corporation during this exceptional period and the complex and unique circumstances then.
All the errors noted in the report have been corrected, and the lessons have been produced and implemented years ago. Work here, shoulder to shoulder, professional and talented people, and as a result they have become here - the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation to the largest and highest quality content producer in Israel against all the odds and difficulties presented to it.
