Major milestone reached, GCJT begins evaluations!

We are excited to share our progress regarding GC Jobs Transformation (GCJT): this fall we will begin evaluating recruitment software solutions with test users!

We are now moving forward with Proof of Concept evaluations with vendors already prequalified to work with the Government of Canada. Through this process we will evaluate recruitment solutions from vendors and determine how they meet our user needs and the functionality we’re looking for. The result of these evaluations will inform the next steps of the project, including recommending a potential solution with which we would conduct pilots, using live hiring processes.

These Proof of Concept evaluations begin this fall and with subject matter experts from across the Public Service Commission. We are also conducting usability testing with selected departments, ensuring a focus on diverse representation of Employment Equity groups, geographic location, language profiles and user groups (Job Seekers, Hiring Managers and HR Professionals). This testing will be carried out in partnership with Shared Services Canada’s Accessibility, Accommodation and Adaptive Computer Technology (AAACT) program to ensure the new solution meets GC accessibility standards.

We also hope to bring a Digital User Expo to the greater GC for you to see the solution(s) in action and so that your valuable feedback can help to inform our pilot stage.
