London, 23 April 2012: A ground breaking partnership of 28 public sector
organisations in the UK has been shortlisted for a National PPMA Award* for Best
Recruitment Partnership Project after building a leading-edge shared service for
e-recruitment that has saved millions of pounds of taxpayers money. The WMJobs
site is powered by talent management technology from UK-based Lumesse.
According to Rebecca Davis, Head of Organisational Development at West Midlands
Councils, responsible for leading the WMJobs Partnership:
"The WMJobs Partnership is changing the way public sector organisations in the
West Midlands recruit and has delivered over £2 million in transactional
efficiency savings to date, and considerable savings in recruitment advertising.
We are pleased that the scale of our achievement in transforming recruitment
practices has been recognised by being shortlisted for a national PPMA award.
The WMJobs service is constantly evolving - it is open to any public sector
organisation in the West Midlands and we hope this provides an opportunity for
new partner organisations to join us."
Among the many benefits of the WMJobs site that have been identified are savings
approaching £2 million, extensive staff redeployment rather than redundancy
achieved, a substantially improved experience for candidates, and dramatically
improved public perception of local authority employment in the area.
"This is why Lumesse is so passionate about improving talent management," said
Lumesse CEO, Matthew Parker. "This great initiative saves public money at a
difficult time, it helps people find jobs more easily, and it makes life easier
for recruitment professionals. We're delighted to be involved with the WMJobs
initiative and we congratulate the whole team on this achievement."
WMJobs, a partnership of 28 public sector organisations, is managed by West
Midlands Councils, a member-led organisation comprising of all 33 local
authorities within the West Midlands. The site continues to grow its profile and
high volumes of traffic, seeing an average of 10 million 'hits' and over
800,000 unique visitors per month, leading to over 16,500 applications.
* PPMA - Public Sector People Managers Association is the voice and association
for Human Resources and Organisational Development professionals working within
the public sector. There annual award ceremony will take place on Thursday
26(th) April 2012 in Birmingham.
