The Minister for the Public Service and Administration, Ms Ayanda Dlodlo, will officially launch the e-Recruitment system in the public service on Wednesday, 12 December 2018 in Pretoria.
The e-Recruitment system is part of a government wide process to make it simpler and easier for people, especially the youth, to apply for job opportunities in the public service. The process will also include a review of regulations for all entry level posts in the public service, to allow the recruitment of new entrants without prior experience into entry level jobs. The South African government is committed to addressing the challenge of high rates of youth unemployment in the country.
As part of the strategy to introduce a paperless administration across the public service, Minister Dlodlo instructed the Department of Public Service and Administration to introduce a digital Z83 application form as an additional platform for job seekers in the public service. Applications for jobs in the public service will still be accepted through the physical Z83 forms to accommodate those who do not have access to the internet and will also be available in an online digital format to allow for a quick and easy application process for those who have internet.
