We concluded proof-of-concept testing with select departments and agencies to assess a commercially available solution, including a potential move to cloud software based on our preliminary options analysis. Proof-of-concept testing confirmed that a cloud/software-as-a-service product is a viable option for replacing GC Jobs.

Based on our preliminary options analysis, we’re exploring a move to a cloud software.  We concluded proof-of-concept testing with selected departments and agencies to assess commercially available solutions. The testing confirmed that a cloud/software-as-a-service product is a viable option for replacing GC Jobs. We’ll conduct more testing with other products to ensure the solution we select meets Government of Canada accessibility standards.

We also conducted prototype and usability testing with another potential solution which allowed the PSC to better understand the gaps and transformation needed to leverage industry best practices. The next step is to work with GC Human Capital Management (formerly NextGen HR & Pay) on design, implementation and HR Target Operating Model for the new GC recruitment platform.
