National Employability Day #Empday19

‘Two hours in the life of an Offploy candidate’

Friday 28th June 2019

2pm to 4pm

Hull CRC, 1 Saville Street, Hull, HU1 3ES

An overview of the event

The UK is currently facing a talent shortage and more employers are now hiring people with criminal convictions.

Offploy, an organisation that specialises in supporting businesses to hire people with criminal convictions, is opening the doors of their service to organisations interested in finding out more about recruiting people with criminal convictions.

This event will take guests through our nine-step candidate journey, which usually takes six weeks, in two hours.

Your day will involve:

• Meeting our team
• Going through our nine-step candidate journey as a candidate
• This includes a short masterclass on understanding ‘spent’ convictions and
• Meeting some people currently going through their journey towards employment.

Who this event is aimed at

Hiring managers of medium to large sized organisations who have a constant need for talent.

Spaces will be limited to twelve individuals with a maximum of two representatives per organisation.

Agenda for the day

The event will run from 2pm to 4pm.

Over the two hours, we will take you through our nine-step candidate journey (as if you were the candidate) with your own dedicated ‘Social Employment Advisor’. We will then visit one of our employability courses being delivered around the corner at a community cafe. Finally, the session will be ended with a short masterclass on understanding what a ‘spent’ conviction actually means along with a useful mythbuster around criminal convictions.

The event will be a safe place for employers to ask questions in confidence around recruiting people with criminal convictions.

All employers attending the event will also receive free one to one support in developing their own ex-offender recruitment policy to use for their own ongoing recruitment practice.

We look forward to seeing you on the day.
