Recruitment Service
COI is the Government's centre of excellence for marketing and communications, including recruitment advertising and services.
We provide consultancy, procurement and project management to the Government and public sector across all marketing and communications disciplines.
COI's Recruitment Advertising Service
One of our services is Recruitment Advertising. Working closely with OGC and the Cabinet Office, this forms part of an end-to-end recruitment offering for all your vacancies.
The service allows recruiters to choose from a wide range of approved agencies or, in many cases, to improve the terms of an established agency relationship.
Contracts are already in place so, by using COI's services, you don't need to repeat the full procurement process. COI acts as a central purchasing body in the context of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006, so COI must issue all contracts awarded under its frameworks.
COI's aggregated media spend enables us to negotiate substantial discounts off the cost of media space as well as savings on agency costs.
Rates and charges are already negotiated making the process as easy as possible whilst ensuring best value for money.
