Description

The Council invites quotations for the provision of Borough of Culture Recruitment

We are seeking to appoint a recruitment partner to work with us on a number of key roles which will lead the delivery of London Borough of Culture, ensuring we attract a dynamic and diverse range of candidates to apply.

The Council has made clear in its' recently agreed Equality Strategy, that it is committed to ensuring it has a fully diverse organisation at all levels in the council. The successful recruitment partner must be able to demonstrate excellent past practice in positive action initiatives and in delivering a diverse pool of quality applicants. The purpose of the London Borough of Culture programme is to celebrate the borough's diversity and it is imperative the successful candidates are representative of Croydon.

The Council will expect as a minimum standard an approved longlist that demonstrates that the recruitment partner has undertaken impactful positive action activity in the creation of a diverse longlist.

These roles will all be subject to the following three stage interview process:

1. Informal meet and greet opportunity at Croydon Council (not formal part of interview process)
2. Formal stakeholder interview with key partners in the programme
3. Formal interview

The Council will expect as a minimum the expected standards within the field of recruitment, which will be tested through quality method statements within the tender process.
