The Chief Executive presented the report entitled ‘Director Recruitment’ and advised that:

·                The recruitment process that was followed was very similar to the processes that were used to recruit previous directors.

·                It was recognised that future local government reorganisation in Hertfordshire might deter prospective applicants from applying for the positions, therefore a greater amount of money was spent to ensure that the roles were more widely advertised than previous director vacancies.

·                They had received a good response rate to the advertised positions.

Councillor Keith Hoskins, as Chair, proposed and Councillor Nigel Mason seconded, and following a vote it was:

RESOLVED:

(1)       That the Employment Committee interviewed the candidates for the roles.

(2)       That the Employment Committee noted the content of the report.

REASON FOR DECISION: The details of the candidates and their performance throughout the recruitment process are contained in the Part 2 report. The report sets out the background.
