    Brief

    This opportunity seeks an executive search firm to support the recruitment of hard-to-fill and specialist roles across the council. The successful supplier will manage the full recruitment process, including candidate sourcing, screening, and interview coordination. The service should also include advertising support to maximize candidate visibility and quality of applicants. This is ideal for positions where traditional recruitment methods may not yield sufficient qualified candidates, particularly for senior management, technical specialists, and other roles requiring specialized expertise or experience.
