Traditional recruitment methods involving expensive press advertising campaigns and complicated application processes are increasingly unsuccessful in attracting young, fresh and diverse talent.

As newspaper readership is declining and online access continues to grow (64 per cent of UK adults accessed the internet in the last 3 months*), public and not for profit organisations need to use the internet to best effect to reach these people.

Only 8% of the local government workforce is under 24 and one in three public sector workers are due to retire in the next ten years. So in order to deliver a compelling recruitment message to younger people, as well as those in black and minority ethnic groups, people with disabilities and those currently in the private sector, the public and not for profit sector needs to use new channels and develop new strategies.

The internet is now the UK's most popular route for looking for jobs, surpassing both newspapers and employment agencies.** It allows you the space you need to do justice to the lifestyle and cultural values that differentiate your organisation from the private sector.

In addition paper based recruitment processes are slow, expensive and not inclusive. In order to provide a cost effective and candidate friendly service, the public and not for profit sector needs to put e-recruitment at the heart of the process.
