Local Government Workplace Solutions provides recruitment and selection service exclusively to the Local Government sector - our business is your business. Our services are particularly important where it may be considered inappropriate for Elected Members to use the services of Council employees to assist with the recruitment and selection of their Chief Executive Officer. It is also invaluable where the Local Government does not have resources, or simply the time required to undertake these processes in-house.
Local Government Workplace Solutions work with Local Governments in designing processes and in assisting in the recruitment and selection of the best possible employees across a broad range of positions.
Local Government Workplace Solutions recruitment and selection services include:
- Assisting with preparing position descriptions and designing advertisements specifically for the Local Government sector;
- Applying our extensive industry knowledge to target suitable applicants through an executive search;
- Responding to enquiries and distributing information packages to applicants;
- Short listing applicants to those that best meet the selection criteria;
- Advising with respect to suitable interviewees and appropriate interview format for the relevant position;
- Designing interview questions based on the selection criteria;
- Facilitating interview process (either the Association's or Local Government premises or using our videoconferencing facilities);
- Accurate reference checking;
- Preparing a report on the applicants interviewed;
- Drafting of employment contracts and assisting in contract negotiations with the recommended applicant;
- Advising on human resource management strategies designed to retain staff; and
- Maintaining a confidential database of career seekers in Local Government.
Local Government Workplace Solutions will work with individual Local Governments to find a cost-effective solution to your recruitment needs. Fees will be determined by the type and extent of the service(s) required as our objective is to provide professional support at a reasonable cost, not to make an exorbitant profit. As a part of a unified member based Association, we know Local Government and aim to give our clients the best possible value for money.
Workplace Solutions can put you in touch with the right person for your job using our recruitment expertise and Local Government knowledge.
