The HR team have introduced a Hiring Manager Portal, available within our recruitment system – Hireserve. This will streamline the recruitment process and give Hiring Managers end-to-end control and visibility of their vacancies in one place, from initial request to advertise, shortlisting, inviting candidates to interview through to making an offer to your preferred candidate.
Carolyn Williams is the Director of LJMU's Student Recruitment Marketing and Admissions Department.
Shortlisting is the process of identifying candidates from the applicant pool who best meet the essential (and sometimes desirable) criteria set in the Person Specification for the vacancy they are recruiting to.
A job description and person specification is required for all roles within LJMU.
Find out more about LJMU’s Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) which is currently used for managing interactions in relation to Admissions, Student Recruitment, International Enquiries, Careers and Student Advice & Wellbeing, and aims to create a single repository of all interactions with students throughout the entire student lifecycle, from enquiry through to alumni.
The main goal of the interview is to establish information on the candidate’s capability to successfully perform the duties of the role and ensure the best person is hired.
A vacancy may arise for a number of reasons, such as staff resignation, retirement or a new post (either temporary or permanent) may be required due to taking on new projects or responsibilities.
The aim of advertising is to generate interest from potential applicants by attracting a sufficient number of applicants who possess the necessary skills, experience and qualifications to do the role effectively.
The Customer Relationships and Insight team works closely with all areas of the wider Student Recruitment Marketing and Admissions team, and colleagues across the institution to ensure LJMU consistently delivers an exceptional experience for prospective students.
Following interviews, the successful candidate should be contacted verbally to confirm the outcome of the interview and confirm that a formal offer will be issued by the HR department.
