Local government recruitment is challenging enough, even with the right tools. So you can imagine how tough hiring gets when you’re facing increasing demands, mountains of offline admin and challenging legacy recruitment software.
That’s where Malvern Hills & Wychavon District Councils found themselves. They were often able to attract talent but the recruitment process was a real effort – offline; admin-heavy; and causing lots of additional work for managers, recruiters and candidates. Lots of roles were proving hard to fill.
Despite the best efforts of their fantastic team, Malvern Hills & Wychavon were battling a heap of challenges that were holding back hiring, especially for stickler roles:
- Slow, cumbersome processes
- Endless paperwork
- Mountains of email
- Swarms of low-quality CVs
- Inconsistent candidate experience
- Clunky application process
That’s where Tribepad came in…
