National Treasury’s eTender Portal provides another dull week as the public sector deals with the impact of holiday season while at the same time coming to terms with the new financial year.
Eskom, meanwhile, continues with its focus on human resources. Following last week’s request for a ‘lean and agile’ implementation journey for its group IT department, the utility is this week looking for an e-recruitment system to automate the process from staff requisition to induction.
In its tender documentation, the utility explains that it has experienced challenges in finding a solution that can allow for effective monitoring of recruitment projects and assist in managing the process.
“Since the establishment of Shared Services, Recruitment had to use multiple systems that are not integrated, SharePoint and SAP CRM making it difficult to have an end-to-end view of the recruitment process,” it says.
Since the establishment of Shared Services, Recruitment had to use multiple systems that are not integrated.
This has resulted in numerous challenges including the unreliable performance of the current in-house developed solution to place and receive candidates’ responses, response handling, cumbersome and highly administrative processes, and the inability to get accurate monitoring and reporting on the recruitment process.
The desired solution will provide an Eskom-wide process for recruitment of employees to ensure legislative compliance, in line with business needs, transformational objectives, and integration with talent management, it says.
The e-recruitment system is expected to deliver effective and efficient candidate sourcing, monitoring and tracking of the end-to-end recruitment process and an enhanced candidate experience that encourages candidates to apply for Eskom jobs and improves the organisation’s image.
