Q. Is it possible to submit a late application?
A. In cases where the selection process has not gone too far (i.e. providing the stage has not been reached of rejecting any candidate, or drawing up a longlist or shortlist) then the BIO-key may accept a late application. In practice, this is likely to mean that applications submitted more than a day or two after the closing date will not be accepted but applicants should be aware that, for some vacancies, there may be a need to act quickly after the closing date and it may not therefore be possible to accept any late applications. If your application is likely to be late, it is best to call the Human Resources Department for further particulars of the vacancy details (preferably before the closing date) to seek advice.

Q. I cannot make the interview time/date I have been given: is it possible to re-arrange it?
A. Applicants are asked to state dates when they may be unavailable and BIO-key will try to accommodate these restrictions. However, it is not always possible to do so, particularly if it is necessary to arrange a date when several members of staff may be involved in the selection/interview process. Where possible, BIO-key would try to suit the candidate but the commitments of selectors may prevent such re-arrangements. Ultimately, the selection may need to proceed in the absence of a shortlisted candidate and BIO-key regrets the need to act occasionally in this way. If you are unable to attend at the time you have been given, call the person who has sent you the letter giving details of your interview as soon as possible.

Q. In cases where a starting salary range is advertised, how is the starting salary determined?
A. The purpose of advertising a starting salary range is to attract a broad range of applicants. The starting salary of the successful candidate will be determined in relation to his/her existing salary; the salaries of existing members of BIO-key staff engaged in similar duties; and any external forces which may affect the starting salary level. Applicants are advised that it is the policy of BIO-key to pay a starting salary within, and not above, the starting salary range. If you are not prepared to accept an offer within the advertised salary range, you should not be applying for the job!
