This is set to be the biggest change to public sector recruitment in 10 years. What is it all about?
The existing framework for public sector organisations to procure temporary and agency staff is due to be replaced in 2024. The new model, called the ‘Future Workforce Framework’, is set to revolutionise your future supply chain.
The aim of the replacement is to connect those looking for work with public sector demand through a “market leading” model. One of its new features is a more seamless engagement between contracting authorities and the wealth of delivery models available to them, all while ‘engaging the right resources, skills and at the right price.’
How can it benefit me?
One key feature of the new framework is the recognition of technology platforms in the procurement of public sector staff. The use of tech platforms and talent pools has seen a massive uptake in recent years, with HR technology spending increasing every year. Technology platforms and talent pool solutions can be used by your organisation to reduce your time to hire by engaging candidates who have already expressed interest in working for your organisation and avoiding the high margins that you may be already paying to your managed service provider. Tech-driven talent pools also have the benefit of automation software to get candidates ready to work as quickly as possible, for example, through a digital compliance solution.
How can I prepare?
These proposed changes are set to bring added value to your supply chain, so preparing in advance for the period of transition between the implementation of the new framework (2024) and the end of PSR (2025) is strongly advised to get the most out of the new options available to your local authority.
People Pool specialises in talent pool solution that uses automated, candidate driven data to find, hire and retain high quality staff for your organisation. We are already available on a compliant framework provided through YPO, and it is already being piloted by two local authorities in England.
