Hertfordshire
County Council (HCC) has launched what it claims is the first council
interactive recruitment website in the UK. The council is the largest employer
in the area, and the site will process applications for permanent and temporary
positions throughout the organisation. The development is in line with the
Government’s e-strategy targets for local authorities, and HCC hopes to have at
least 50 per cent of candidates using the site for applications by 2005. The
technology has been provided by Manpower, which developed a bespoke system for
the council.
