Dear Dave,
This may come too late as I was away for the last four weeks.
I worked as a Positive Action Training Co-ordinator in a past life in
local government. We noticed from monitoring that we were not getting
BME applying for such posts and we decided to grow our own by recruiting
candidates with the potential and education and put them on
one/two/three years training programme for the appropriate qualification
combined with work experience. During their training they applied for
jobs that came up and more often than not were successful. Over a number
of years this strategy increased BME professionals significantly in
under-represented areas and I also started a similar scheme for disabled
people. It does take commitment and some resourcing but it does work.
Give me a ring you'd like to discuss the details.
Regards
Anne

Subject: Novel approach to recruitment
Dear all
A brief one - and quite specific...
Our Estates Services dept will shortly be advertising for 6-8
professional posts - engineers, surveyors and health and safety in
construction - mostly they'll need to be chartered status...We'll be
going in local press, web pages and professional press.
Does anyone have any good steers for alternative advertising approaches
that might encourage applications from women or BME - both areas in
which I feel this Department is under represented.
Any thoughts or advice gratefully received !
Many thanks
Dave
