Information for recruiting managers using recruitment agencies

24 Aug 2023

New contracted suppliers List - recruitment agencies

As part of our commitment to improving the recruitment process across the University, we have recently launched our new contracted suppliers list of agencies for recruiting permanent, fixed-term and temporary members of staff.  

Our new contracted supplier list now features an updated list of approved agencies that we can work with for a range of recruitment solutions.  

With the introduction of the new contracted supplier list we are asking all recruiting managers to contact the Talent Acquisition and Recruitment team in the first instance when considering which recruitment agencies to use instead of approaching agencies directly. 

What are the benefits of introducing the contracted supplier list? 

  • To provide greater value for money and return on investment when working with recruitment agencies; 
  • To ensure robust contract management and quality assurance of our recruitment suppliers is in place;
  • To enable the new Jobtrain recruitment processes to work effectively all candidates need a digital candidate record for the purposes of completing the New Starter Form and employment paperwork;
  •  Compliance with our procurement processes and procedures. 

How do I instruct an agency for recruitment support? 

If you would like to work with a recruitment agency for a particular campaign, you should contact the Talent Acquisition team in the first instance by mailing People.talentacquisition@manchester.ac.uk.  

The Talent Acquisition team can help you with a whole range of recruitment support.
