Human Resources and Recruitment System

The British Museum (BM) is reviewing its Human Resources (HR) System and Applicant Tracking System (ATS). An options appraisal is underway to determine the best solution for its needs: whether to pursue a fully integrated system that includes both an HR system and an ATS (under a single contract), or standalone HR and ATS solutions (two separate contracts with potentially different suppliers).

We are seeking to understand the ability of suppliers to deliver these options. The HR System shall support the management of various staff types, including full-time, part-time, fixed-term contract (FTC), and zero-hour employees, as well as non-employees such as volunteers, agency workers, and visiting academics.

The ATS shall support all stages of the hiring process, starting from the initial application stage on the British Museum careers site, through to interview scheduling and the final hiring decision. It will also assist the HR team in organising candidate information, scheduling interviews, communicating with applicants, and onboarding selected candidates by providing references and necessary onboarding documentation.
