Total Number ofVacancies
The above charts indicate that numbers of enquiries and applications to support vacancies within the College have fluctuated in line with the total number of vacancies. Significantly, from 2006/07 to 2007/08, there was a drop of 15% for support enquiries. This could be attributed to the launch of the e-recruitment site, whereby it is less essential for candidates to request further particulars from HR and thus have their details recorded. It may also be down to the slowing economic market within the UK during 2007/08, which could be deterring potential candidates from leaving their current employment, or more simply, due to a decrease in the total number of vacancies.
Ethnicity of Applicants from 2005 -2008
The above chart shows a decrease in the range of BME backgrounds of candidates applying for roles at the College from 2005/06 to the two consecutive academic years. The percentage of candidates from BME backgrounds applying for roles at the College has decreased from 27% in 2006/07 to 25% in 2007/08, suggesting that there is still work to be done in order to attract more applications from people of ethnic backgrounds.
