Cadent is seeking to establish a Framework of recruitment organisations to support the attraction, assessment and appointment of permanent employees across a range of business functions and specialist disciplines.
The purpose of the arrangement is to create a controlled network of trusted recruitment partners that can supplement Cadent's internal Talent Acquisition capability where external support is required. Appointed suppliers will be expected to provide specialist market reach, access to active and passive talent, evidence-based candidate assessment, market intelligence and a consistently high standard of candidate and hiring-manager service.
Suppliers must act as responsible ambassadors of the Cadent brand and operate in a manner consistent with Cadent's Candidate Care Charter, inclusive hiring principles, social mobility ambitions, Fair Chance approach and all applicable legal, regulatory, security and data protection requirements.
