Late last year HR and Corporate Affairs got together to consider how best to promote Sheffield Hallam as an excellent employer.
Extensive research and stakeholder analysis gave us a crucial insight into the internal and external perceptions of Sheffield Hallam as an employer which were mainly very positive. As well as emphasising some positive strengths for us to build on they also highlighted some things we needed to change to stay competitive, primarily around our recruitment practices and external recruitment pages.
As a result, we’ve made the following changes:
- Development of our employer web presence so people can better understand what working at Sheffield Hallam is really like.
- Using personal career stories of our own staff to give a more personal perspective about working for our University.
- Brought our application and recruitment processes right up to date.
These changes will play a major part in improving the candidate experience and enhancing our reputation as an excellent employer. They will also pave the way for the development and eventual implementation of e-recruitment and easier online application processes.
Staff from across the University have contributed considerably to this employer brand work, and you are now invited to attend one of our drop-in sessions on Thursday 6 November to preview the website and the e-recruitment facility for yourselves before they go live.
The sessions are being held at:
Collegiate Crescent – Room 0.14, Heart of the Campus from 12 – 1.30pm
City – Hallam View from 3 – 4.30pm
These are informal drop-in sessions. Feel free to attend at any time between the times shown to see output of the work so far. We look forward to seeing you there.
