Description

The recruitment department within Police Scotland regularly have a requirement to publish job adverts on recruitment platforms to reach the wide recruitment pool via the use of job board credits. Therefore the Authority has a requirement to put in place a compliant Multi- supplier framework Agreement for the ongoing purchase of job board credits from a range of suitable online job board platforms for staff recruitment. This will enable the recruitment department to have control over where and when adverts are published and on which platforms, in the hope that it will attract high calibre external applicants for Business as usual (BAU) and hard to fill niche roles for both The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) and Police Scotland. The list below details job roles that the Authority have been required to advertise through the use of job board credits, however please note that this list is not exhaustive and shall be subject to change throughout the Framework period: - Police Officer all roles and ranks - Project managers - IT specific job roles - Change Management - Forensics specific job roles - Procurement specific job roles - Finance specific job roles - Service Centre specific job roles
