Objectives

The primary objective is to identify and engage one or more qualified recruitment agencies that specialise in the recruitment, sourcing, placement, and ongoing support of People Living with Disabilities (PLWDs). The initiative aims to secure reliable partners capable of facilitating meaningful employment opportunities and fostering an inclusive workplace culture within the organisation.

Scope

The engagement covers the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for PLWD candidates, including initial sourcing, screening, placement, onboarding, and post-placement support. Interested agencies must submit proposals detailing their relevant experience, service offerings, proposed methodology, fee structures, and availability for an introductory meeting. Following proposal review, shortlisted agencies will be invited to further discussions regarding their recruitment and placement methodologies. The organisation retains the discretion to appoint one or multiple agencies based on operational needs and evaluation outcomes.

• Sourcing Methodologies: Clear, structured processes for identifying, screening, and engaging suitable candidates.
• Matching Framework: Systematic approaches to align candidate skills and qualifications with available organisational roles.
• Support Services: Defined protocols for placement, onboarding, and post-placement monitoring.
• Reporting & Monitoring: Standardised processes for tracking placement success, retention, and candidate progress.
• Commercial Terms: Transparent fee structures, payment terms, and applicable conditions of service.

Skills Requirements

Service providers must possess proven expertise and a verifiable track record in disability-focused recruitment. Essential competencies include:

• In-depth knowledge of disability inclusion principles and labour market dynamics for PLWDs.
• Expertise in assessing and implementing reasonable workplace accommodations.
• Strong analytical and interpersonal skills for effective candidate-role matching and stakeholder liaison.

Key Terminology

People Living with Disabilities (PLWDs): Refers to individuals with physical, sensory, intellectual, or psychosocial conditions who may face systemic barriers in traditional employment settings. The terminology emphasises person-centred language and acknowledges the need for tailored recruitment and support strategies.

Reasonable Workplace Accommodations: Practical modifications or adjustments to job duties, work environments, equipment, or organisational policies that enable employees with disabilities to perform essential functions effectively. These adjustments are designed to remove barriers without imposing disproportionate or undue hardship on the employer.
