Bureau of Meteorology Talent Register Implementation

This document is a case study detailing the implementation of a Talent Register by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) in partnership with Acendre. The objective of the Talent Register is to improve the recruitment process for temporary workers, which had previously been time-consuming and inefficient. The BOM, which plays a crucial role in providing weather, climate, and water information to Australians, faced challenges in attracting qualified candidates with the necessary skills for various temporary positions. The case study outlines how BOM transitioned from a cumbersome system to a streamlined Talent Register that significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of applicants. The document describes the collaborative process of developing the register, including feedback from staff and the operational launch. The results indicate a rapid increase in candidate applications, with positive feedback from both managers and applicants. The Talent Register has improved BOM's ability to meet its staffing needs effectively and efficiently.
