title: Reliability of a regional junior doctor recruitment process.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Recruitment to Paediatric Senior House Officer (SHO) posts has traditionally been undertaken by each individual hospital trust. This study looks at a regional recruitment process.
  
  
  METHODS
  Shortlisting was carried out in a single day marking application forms according to set criteria. A 3 station interview was used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Reliability for both shortlisting and interviews was high (G co-efficients > or = 0.8).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This regional recruitment process for SHOs showed high reliability and is a model applicable to all specialties.
