A recruitment toolkit for JISC projects
The JISC Repositories Start Up and Enhancement (SUE) strand is coming to an end now. There were 44 projects in that strand all working with repositories in some way or another. One of the most common problems experienced by the projects was with recruiting staff to work on the project. In some cases the problems were so severe that the project outputs needed to be scaled back.
In an effort to help future projects avoid the recruitment problems experienced by the SUE projects, we commissioned Brunton Consultancy limited to produce a recruitment toolkit to help project managers with recruiting.
The toolkit is available now and is full of helpful advice, templates and resources that deal with the whole process of project recruitment from planning through advertising to the job offer. It also has a section on employing consultants.
The toolkit was commissioned specifically to help repository projects so some of the information is specific to that community, however most of the toolkit will be relevant for anyone who finds themsleves having to recruit staff for a project.
