New support now available to help managers recruit
Government Skills has launched training package to support recruitment managers’ and panel members.
Government Campus has launched a new recruitment training suite to help managers get the knowledge and tools they need to recruit the right person to the right role.
The training uses evidence-based recruitment practices and ensures managers are sighted on legislation which sets out how they should approach recruiting staff.
The new Success Profiles Recruitment using Success Profiles suite aims to provide flexible, practical training that improves recruitment outcomes and supports a positive candidate experience across government departments.
It can be accessed through the Recruitment with Success Profiles page of Prospectus Online.
The new suite comprises online resources, workshops, e-learning, animations, and podcasts. Courses cover best practices at each stage of recruitment, such as writing job descriptions, designing assessments, and assessing candidates. Much of the content is free with optional workshops that allow learners to practise skills in a structured setting.
To remain current, Government Campus are working closely with the Recruitment transformation team and will refresh the courses over the next two years based on learner feedback and shifts in recruitment practices, including advances in AI.
The older online courses: Success Profiles: Sifting and Interviewing and Designing Your Assessment Process will remain available on the website until the new year to allow departments to choose when to move to the new Recruitment with Success profiles courses. Departmental learning and development leads will be consulted before removal.
Bookings for the new workshops are now available, with dates for open bookings being offered from January 2025.
