Solace offers help on senior recruitment

A guide to recruiting in senior posts has been created for council leadership teams by the representative body for chief executives.

Solace, in partnership with the Local Government Association, has launched a practical guide aimed at both candidates and the elected members and officers.

Finding the Perfect Fit provides a series of clear and structured pointers and questions for organisations and candidates on how to plan for an effective senior recruitment process.

The aim is to reduce the risk – and costs – of bad recruitment decisions.

The local government financial crisis has not been caused by a lack of funding: that’s just a symptom of the inherent conflict of having independent local authorities within a highly centralised state, argues Conrad Hall.
