Expert assessment in recruitment
Karolinska Institutet thanks you for your willingness to serve as an expert in a recruitment process. Here is a summary of what the assignment entails.
What does the assignment as an expert entail?
You will assess the competence and skills of the applicants. Your opinion is an important part of the selection process and helps KI make decisions. The assessment is made individually, unless otherwise stated in the assignment description.
The assessment of applicants' merits and skills should be based on all the material in the case, and consideration should be given to the requirements, assessment criteria and specific guidelines that apply to the position in question.
Conflict of interest - important to consider
It is important that you, as an expert, have assessed whether there is a risk of conflict of interest (e.g. a personal connection to an applicant) before taking on the assignment. Inform your contact person at KI if such a situation arises, even during the assessment process. Read more about conflict of interest on KI's website.
Access to application documents and instructions
You will have access to the material in the Varbi recruitment tool. Application documents, instructions and other documents needed for the assignment are uploaded to the system. If you need help, you can always contact your contact person.
In some cases, the material is sent directly by email.
How are statements submitted?
You upload your statement to Varbi if the assignment has been sent to you through the system. In some cases, it must be submitted to KI by email.
Remuneration for the assignment
KI pays remuneration to experts to experts as a salary. It is not possible to invoice KI for the assignment from your own company or other employer. Your contact person will request information from you in order to complete the payment of remuneration.
If you live in Sweden and have a Swedish account, you need to register the account on Swedbank's website. It is possible to register a Swedish account that is in another bank than Swedbank. If you do not have an account in the register at Swedbank, you will receive a cash notice sent to your home address.
If you live abroad and work in Sweden, you may be eligible to pay only Special Income Tax for Non-Residents (SINK) on your remuneration. You can either apply for a SINK decision yourself or receive assistance from your contact person. Please note that it may take some time for the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) to process the application and issue a decision, which may delay the payment.
