Description

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to provide a Recruitment Application Tracking System.

The vacancy management and recruitment process for Hiring Managers should be intuitive and straight forward, whilst ensuring that robust and compliant processes are followed. The system should facilitate and support end-to-end recruitment processes, from requesting a vacancy be recruited to, reviewing and shortlisting applications, setting up and feeding back on assessments, through to monitoring the onboarding progress of successful candidates. The candidate journey, from application to onboarding, should be attractive, agile, efficient and intuitive in response to current labour market. Candidates should be able to easily provide all relevant application and compliance information using recruiter pre-defined application forms, tailored to specific roles.

Portsmouth City Council (PCC) are a large unitary authority with an employee headcount of approximately 4500 people, excluding schools. This is made up of around 600 managers who will require more regular access and use of the recruitment system and up to a further 3900 potential other users who may be required to support the recruitment process, such as interview panel members or for administrative purposes. A significant number of employees will not require access to the system.

The ability to deliver key services to support our communities depends upon our ability to acquire and retain the right people at the right time. We are committed to continue to build our reputation for excellence and innovation and to recruit employees with the right skills, attitudes, values and behaviours we need now and for the future. The recruitment system will be key in helping PCC to achieve this aim.
