DE&S CORPORATE SERVICES EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENT SUPPORT

DE&S has a requirement to establish a framework agreement for Corporate Services Executive Recruitment Support, to help us attract and hire the best talent in the market for the top levels of our management structure, in both permanent and interim roles. We need to get access to top talent, build our brand in the senior marketplace and use our freedoms around pay and reward to secure the very best individuals. We want to build relationships with the external supplier so they get to know DE&S and understand our business, our culture and senior leaders. We are looking for a Contractor who can work collaboratively to develop an executive recruitment approach that produces current and future leaders of our organisation.

The role of the Corporate Services Executive Recruitment Support Framework Contractor will be to work face to face with HR, the business and key stakeholders, including our Chief Executives Committee and Senior Leadership Group to define and advise the correct person specification for each role, utilising market data to advise potential candidate sources that will provide access to the most relevant and high quality candidates per role. For permanent recruitment, it is expected that in-depth research based market mapping will be conducted to identify and approach potential candidates, introducing DE&S in a compelling way in order to attract them to the opportunity on offer. The Framework Contractor will conduct a thorough assessment of all candidates before recommending the most suitable individuals to DE&S, and subsequently managing these individuals through the selection process of shortlist and interview stages before securing the preferred candidate. The Contract duration is expected to be 2 years from the framework establishment, with a further 2 option years anticipated. Firm prices are sought for all permanent recruitment work under the Contract. Interim recruitment will be subject to Firm daily rate price bandings.
