The vacancy management and recruitment process for Hiring Managers should be intuitive and straight forward, whilst ensuring that robust and compliant processes are followed. The system should facilitate and support end-to-end recruitment processes, from requesting a vacancy be recruited to, reviewing and shortlisting applications, setting up and feeding back on assessments, through to monitoring the onboarding progress of successful candidates. The candidate journey, from application to onboarding, should be attractive, agile, efficient and intuitive in response to current labour market. Candidates should be able to easily provide all relevant application and compliance information using recruiter pre-defined application forms, tailored to specific roles. Portsmouth City Council (PCC) are a large unitary authority with an employee headcount of approximately 4500 people, excluding schools.
