The State IT Agency (SITA) is once again advertising for a recruitment service, this time for what it identifies as “urgent recruitment” of IT and supply chain management (SCM) skills.
The agency says the scope of the contract will be limited to the filling of some of the top 100 positions in the IT and SCM fields, and will cease after these positions are filled.
In September, SITA published a transversal tender inviting recruitment agencies and headhunters to request accreditation to join a panel of skills acquisition specialists. The document split the requirement into two key areas: recruitment specialists in ICT core, critical and scarce skills; and headhunting firms for senior management and executive leadership positions. Submissions for this contract closed on 17 October.
In its current tender, SITA says recruitment agencies are sought for their ability to attract a wider pool of candidates of a refined skills capability and augment human capital management and line of business capacity in facilitating interview processes.
“This will enable reduction of recruitment turnaround times to meet the tight timelines of this project,” it states.
