Employer Hub

The CWLEP Growth Hub and Employment Solutions team recognise and encourage the requirement for partnership working, when tackling unemployment and redundancy, which is why the relationship with the Employer Hub and Coventry City Council is of such high importance. Based at the flagship Coventry Job Shop, Coventry City Council's Employer Hub provides a free bespoke recruitment, training and wellbeing service and is available to help employers with:

• Support with job description and creating job adverts

• Sourcing suitable candidates against the job description, making use of the Coventry City Council Job Shop’s pool of over 25,000 registered customers
• Pre-screening to ensure candidate suitability
• Carrying out all required pre-screening activities such as any tests, pre-interview activities and telephone interviews
• Sourcing suitable pre-employment training to meet employer needs
• Arranging final interviews as required
• Supporting with work trials, work experience and general employment opportunities

In addition to recruitment activities the Employer Hub can support employers to increase their productivity through evaluating their employee wellbeing, with support to sign up to the West Midlands Combined Authority Thrive at Work Charter.
