Finding and developing diverse talent

We will find new talent and reach the best candidates with a diverse range of backgrounds and skills to fill a wide range
of roles.

Supporting an inclusive culture and leadership

We will ensure all staff are supported so they can perform at their best

Building a resilient workplace

We will create policies to ensure that Imperial is prepared to be more flexible as we work both in-person and online, while maintaining our culture and a sense of community cohesion.

Our plans

The picture today

Today, our Recruitment Hub provides a direct service to most areas of the College. The Temporary Worker team has been established and system implementation is underway. In our recruitment practices, we promote diversity and inclusivity.

However, issues with integration to ICIS and the approval process contribute to challenges with our recruitment processes, while the availability of resources and the complexity of generating contracts affect their turnaround time.

Our ambition

  • Develop our in-house temporary worker team and systems. This will enable us to take a ‘full service’ approach to temporary worker recruitment and avoid using costly agencies.
  • Cut recruitment time by building a pipeline of talented candidates.
  • Implement a new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) (with full integration to ERP).
  • Achieve high levels of satisfaction from managers and candidates

Our plans for the future

To address these challenges and improve our recruitment service, we will:

  • Implement College Values across our recruitment
  • Reduce the use of external agencies to increase the capacity for in-house search and create a talent
  • Establish an employer brand, which promotes Imperial as an employer, and also develop and implement a programmatic approach for recruitment.
  • Increase the use of automation in our recruitment
