Bilingual Workforce Recruitment Pack. Bangor University
Abstract
This practical resource aims to offer advice and guidance to employers seeking to address the challenges of recruiting a bilingual workforce. Specifically, this resource has been targeted at companies and organizations that wish to recruit staff with Welsh language skills. It introduces: 1. A toolkit which includes examples of good practice collected during the research as employers shared effective ways of increasing the linguistic capacity of their workforce through recruitment, and 2. Typology, a means of classifying people into different groups which helps employers to identify and target audiences when conducting a recruitment process. This research study has led to evidence showing that many employers face challenges when recruiting staff with Welsh language skills. Additionally, we found that the challenges of recruiting a workforce with Welsh language skills are more intense in some sectors (e.g. care) or specific specialist areas (e.g. information technology).
