Notice Title

Media Assessment and Recruitment

Notice Description

The Home Office (hereafter referred to as the Authority), Senior Civil Service Recruitment and Public Appointments Team (the Recruitment Team) is seeking a media partner for a period of up to 3 years, which it can call upon to conduct media assessments. This service will better inform selection panels on the suitability of candidates for often high profile roles across the department and its agencies. The Authority are seeking to award a contract for preparation, delivery and assessment of media assessment exercises to provide selection panels with additional evidence on which to base their decision on whom to appoint as either a public appointee or senior civil servant. These are high profile roles, where post holders will be the focus of intense public and parliamentary scrutiny and it is therefore likely that they will be required to engage with the media. The Authority require shortlisted candidates to be assessed in realistic radio and television interview scenarios, with footage available for the selection panel to view/listen to and to be supported by a written report on each candidate's performance.
