8. Recruitment Process
Data source:
Civil Service Resourcing.
Time period and availability:
Latest data covers the period from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014.
What does this tell us?
The data shows percentages of employees at different stages of the recruitment process for our vacancies opened with Civil Service Resourcing during the period. The percentages are given against their status in relation to each of the following protected characteristics: age; disability; ethnicity; and gender. The percentage of applications from those indicating disability is similar to the DWP percentage declaring that characteristic. It represents an increase from the 2013 report. The application percentage from those declaring as ethnic minority is higher than the DWP staff value. Although the successful percentage is a little higher than for the corresponding group, the non-declared group could obscure the underlying behaviour. The percentage of applications from females is lower than the DWP headcount split, but remains very close to the value in the 2013 report. The different stages of the recruitment process are all reasonably similar for disability, ethnic minority and gender. The differences do not look to be significant in these areas. Compared with the 2013 report, there has been a decline in the percentage of applications from the 16 to 24 age group.
How will an improvement be shown?
Generally the similarity of this indicator between groups will indicate equivalent behaviour. However, this will require a reasonably complete declaration rate and sufficiently large volumes to be precise.
