Recruiting senior managers in local government is a resource-intensive exercise, often fraught with political sensitivities, requiring market knowledge of the local government employment sector.
Not all councils have the in-house expertise required to recruit to senior positions. We have therefore created a specialist unit to provide councils with independent, expert knowledge and technical advice to support their in-house teams.
Our well-respected reputation ensures the trust of members. Our experienced team of strategic and operational HR specialists will provide support with all – or selected – parts of the recruitment process, starting from when you receive a resignation letter to sending out a job offer.
