The Head of HR Shared Service presented a
report outlining the options for the process of recruitment for,
and selection to, the position of Director.
It was explained that the vacancy for the
position of Director did not occur often, which meant that internal
HR did not have the experience required to benchmark expectations
of a candidate for the role. In contrast, external recruitment
consultants would be experienced in advertising and selecting
candidates for such roles.
Members requested a comparison between the
estimated costs incurred should the process be administered by
internal HR against the process as undertaken by external
recruitment consultants, to be provided outside of the meeting.
It was noted that recommendation one of the
report had been agreed in essence during the previous agenda
item.
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Employment Committee agree the appointment of a
sub-Committee as the interview panel for any Director
appointments.
2.
That the Employment Committee agree the appointment of recruitment
consultants to assist with the recruitment and selection process
for any Director appointments.
3.
That the selection of the recruitment consultants is delegated to
the Chief Executive in consultation with the Chairman of the
Appointment sub-Committee if then elected, or the Chairman of the
Employment Committee.
