Hiring Strategy

Project details

What we need
  • Recommendations on active and passive recruiting and proper channels to pursue candidates
  • Guidelines for hiring process, including order and number of interview rounds, reference checks, and general best practices for an inclusive interview
  • Effective interviewing techniques and clear, consistent standards for evaluating candidates
  • Tips for negotiating details such as compensation package and title
Additional details

We wish to thoroughly review our recruitment practices, to help us diversify our workforce. We are based in Brighton, UK and need a volunteer with knowledge of UK HR practices and employment law.
Areas to cover are:
Overall recruitment strategy
How and where we advertise to attract candidates from diverse backgrounds
Our recruitment packs and the language we use in them
The application process - application forms/CVs/other forms of application - e.g. videos
Approaches to interviewing

What we have in place
  • We currently have job packs, job ads, application forms, interview questions, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Information and guidance from external organisations, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,806 , allowing us to increase our investment in the activities we offer to dance artists and communities in the South East

We want to significantly broaden the range of candidates we attract to roles at all levels within the organisation. Equality and diversity lies at the heart of everything we do, but this is not evident from our current workforce. We believe a more diverse workforce will increase our organisational effectiveness, contribute positively to our future planning and enable us to better serve the dance artists and communities with whom we work

Our mission

South East Dance is dedicated to making life better through dance. We champion the many ways that dance can change lives; leading the way in challenging perceptions of what dance is, who makes it, what it can achieve, and who it's for and we place diversity in its widest sense at the heart of everything we do - from the artists we work with, to the audiences we seek to attract, and the participants with whom we engage.
