Recruitment of Under-Represented Groups into the Senior Civil Service
by Hülya Hooker, Nick Jagger and Susanna Baldwin
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) to explore the attitudes and job search behaviours of the senior managers who are from under-represented groups, including women, those with a long-term health condition or disability, and those from ethnic minorities.
The main purpose of the project is to provide detailed information on the job search behaviours and perceptions of senior potential candidates from the under-represented groups so that DWP are more able to target these groups more effectively when recruiting for senior posts within the organisation.
