Understanding attraction, recruitment and job-seeking behaviours - reports and resources

We commissioned an organisation called Urban Foresight to carry out research that explored how the workforce challenges facing social care in Wales can be addressed.

The research was split across two themes:

• Understanding job-seeking behaviours
• Understanding attraction, recruitment and the role of WeCare Wales

As well as generating reports and recommendations across both areas of research, including a report that focuses specifically on the early years and childcare sector, the work also produced two new resources for employers.

• An attraction, recruitment and retention guide - The guide includes advice about things like how best to attract people to work in the sector and make staff feel valued once they’ve joined.
• A user personas toolkit - The toolkit describes how user personas can be used to support jobseekers in the social care sector, with several example personas.

You can download both resources, along with each of the reports, for free below.
