Unlock the secrets to transforming local government recruitment with a diversity-first approach. Join me, Sarah, as I host the inaugural episode of SEEdPOD, where Dr Ruth Adams, CEX of SEE and Kate Wilson from Osborne Thomas engage in a crucial discussion about how diversifying council workforces impacts decision-making and service delivery. Expect to uncover the strategic methods and real-world examples that have reshaped recruitment strategies, especially how targeted approaches can effectively reach minority audiences.

Together with Kate, who has a wealth of experience in executive recruitment and HR consultancy, we dissect the practical challenges and tools for promoting diversity in councils. Through our conversation, we navigate through past experiences in sectors like the fire service and emphasise the importance of crafting compelling job advertisements that resonate with a broader demographic. Whether you're immersed in local government or simply passionate about progressive recruitment practices, this episode promises insightful perspectives on how embracing diversity can enhance both workforce appeal and operational effectiveness.
