The recruitment process: step-by-step
This procedure is intended to support managers and applicants with the aim of ensuring timely recruitment and induction to help maintain council services.
Who this process is for
The procedure is intended to support managers and applicants with the aim of ensuring timely recruitment and induction to help maintain council services. It is recommended by the Executive Director – People, that this policy is adopted by schools. Where adopted by a school, for “Executive Director” read “Headteacher/Chair of Governors” and for “People Management” read “HR provider”.
Where the post involves contact with service users, managers should refer to the safe recruitment procedure to make sure people who may present a risk of harm are not allowed to work with children or adults in the council’s care.
This guidance should be read in conjunction with the Recruitment, Appointment and Induction policy and the guidance and templates.
The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) have agreed that until the budget position is finalised, we implement a recruitment freeze on all roles that do not meet an agreed criteria from 23 October 2023. It is anticipated that the recruitment freeze may be in place until the end of December, but we will review this regularly and provide updates to managers and staff throughout the next couple of months.
