It was raised to Grade 28 and re-announced. In both cases the candidates who applied represented a very weak pool of applicants even though recruiting efforts were quite aggressive. The best information we can get is that, in today's tight labor market, the salary is a major limiting factor. LIEP has modified the minimum qualiScations and H-R and LIEP will underrtake a different reciuiting strategy. anvnNrncES g nrrxovEn: We will be able to attract qualified and competent people to manage tbis increasingly complex function. nisnnv,�n*racES � arrxovEn: The only lrnown disadvantage is an increase in salary costs.
