Hi,

We analyse recruitment monitoring data for all posts by ethnicity, gender and disability (though disclosure rates are low for the latter), extended to sexual orientation and religion and belief from 1 October. We decided not to seek details of gender reassignment, pregnancy/maternity or marriage/civil partnership as we thought applicants might see these questions as intrusive and we would be unlikely to use the data.

We have just fully migrated from a paper-based monitoring system to e-recruitment on CORE HR. There have been problems - not with the system, but in getting departments to update the status of a recruitment so that we can continue to analyse posts by 'short-listed',  as well as applied and appointed.

The EDU uses Discoverer to extract and analyse the data. We provide a feedback loop to departments applying for Athena - and want to extend this to areas where we pick up on any under-recruitment by PC. We also report on the data annually where the quality is good enough to our E and D Panel and Personnel Committee, by staff group.

Andrea,
We report our recruitment data by applicants, shortlisted and appointment by gender ,ethnicity and disability, (will need to extend to all the protected characteristics) split into academic and support staff but can drill down by academic school and look at specific posts as that is where the data  provides us with issues related to e.g. lack of female applicants, stereotyping etc. At the moment it is held in spreadsheets so although  it is manually  work intensive it  is easily accessible.
Ideally the results  re analysis and trends would be discussed with the recruiting managers as that is where interventions can be looked at.

However we are about to move to E-recruitment ( I-Trent system ) and as far as I can see the issue is the setting up of the required reports as most system purchases will only have basic reports which may not meet all the equality reporting  requirements. However as the system holds  the data it must be possible to build the required reports but if they have not been commissioned at the time, this work may have to be done.

I am also  keen to hear from anyone who works with recruitment  data from an equality perspective and is using I-Trent to know of any issues that would be better addressed at the early stage of the system design and implementation .
Regards
Sheila

Colleagues

I was hoping you might be able to assist me with a query relating to E&D data in recruitment.

What I am trying to obtain from our recruitment system are regular reports on:

*         on each job advertised,

o   the number of applications received,

o   the number of candidates shortlisted

o   and the candidate appointed.

o   Within this I want to have data in relation to the protected characteristics as per the Equality Act 2010  (I don't want names and other personal info)

Do you receive such reports? If not, does your institution produce different type of reports or none? Would you be willing to share anonymised data?
Does your HR team receive such reports that are then discussed with recruiting managers?
Do you receive/create different types of reports? If yes, what sort of reports are there? Would you be willing to share these?

My understanding is that we are obliged as a partially publicly funded organisation to be able to provide such data. Is my understanding correct?

The other question is , do you use an online recruitment system to obtain data or do you rely on the spreadsheet method? We currently use I-Grasp and we seem to have problems with obtaining data from this.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Regards,
Andrea
