Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Recruitment Consultant for Launchpad Project - Falmouth University

Notice Description

Our primary recruitment objective is to increase the ratio of application to placement on the Launchpad programme. Currently, Launchpad averages a 3:1 application ratio to placement with an average rejection rate of 2/3 of all applications. Further evidence suggests that in order to meet intake/output funding targets, we take some managed risk on some applicants placed into the programme. We wish to increase the application ratio to a minimum of 5:1 with an associated increase of software development applications, concentrating on Junior Developers or mature developers who clearly demonstrate the correct risk profile for the programme (programme withdrawals currently demonstrate a predominance profile of male, mature software developer). We also wish to increase the quality of applicant in both skill level and risk profile. Additional information: ITT made available to Bidders: Friday 14th June 2019 Date by which Bidders will need to submit clarifications (if raised) Friday 05th July 2019 at 12.00pm mid-day Deadline for receipt of Stage 1 Tender: Wednesday 10th July 2019 at 12.00pm mid-day Shortlisted bidders stage 2 notified: Friday 12th July 2019 Stage 2 Presentation: W/C 15th July 2019: Preferred Bidder chosen (subject to contract): W/E 19th July 2019.
