With the public sector making up 17.6% of the UK working population as of Q1 2023, there are now 5.8m employees in the sector, with nearly a fifth of these specifically working within local government. However, the vacancy rate as of the end of 2022 stood at 14%, meaning there were 14 vacancies for every 100 roles.

Unlike many of our competitors who will just post your advert on job boards and hope for the best that quality candidates will apply, we undertake a thorough and comprehensive analysis of your existing advert and Employer Value Proposition. Here’s a short one minute video here on what we do.

And the numbers speak for themselves – as of May 2023, data from one of our job board partners, TotalJobs show we achieve 22% more applications than the average for non-Hiring Wizard adverts, whilst we also see a 35% uplift on branded adverts compared with the standard recruitment agency ones – emphasising the need for well branded adverts.

We have used Hiring Wizard for our past three recruitment campaigns, all of which have been successful. We find the flexibility offered, allowing us to tailor the adverts and package to the job role we’re recruiting for, to be invaluable.
