Two cutting edge e-projects from JGP are helping Doncaster MBC attract, retain and better manage their talent.
Case Study - Managing talent
It's all about talent - attracting it, retaining it and managing it effectively and thanks to two cutting edge e-projects with Jobsgopublic, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council are leading the way in their quest for talent.
The first project, JobsDoncaster, is a web based portal linking job seekers to job opportunities with different public sector employers in the Doncaster region.
“JobsDoncaster”, said Steve Dungworth, Doncaster MBC's Web Portal Manager, “will enable public sector employers such as the council, Doncaster College, the airport and the NHS, to advertise all their job vacancies on one web site.”
“This will enable us to work collaboratively and concentrate on attracting talent by selling the public sector and Doncaster as a great place to work, rather than on competing with each other”.
The potential advantages of the site are enormous, according to Steve.
He said: “The cost saving potential alone could be incredible and with e-recruitment, uninspiring adverts will be a thing of the past. Instead you will have a blank canvas on which to sell the public sector. We will also be able to pool talent between organisations so that talented but unsuccessful candidates can be picked up within the sector and not lost”.
The second project, a Skills Portal, which is an innovative e-solution to workforce planning, is also at the vanguard of technology.
The Skills Portal allows you to map the skills and competencies of your workforce against your current and future requirements, enabling organisations to identify skills gaps, which can then be met by recruitment or training. The resulting organisational skills map also allows you to better manage talent by enabling fast and easy access to expertise throughout the organisation for specific projects.
