"One reason we established the Office of Management and Budget last year was to help simplify some of our services to the public and state agencies, such as the process of applying for jobs within state government," said Minner. "Once this new system is operational, applicants for state jobs, state employees applying for promotions, and hiring managers seeking qualified applicants will all benefit. This will lead to better service for our citizens."
Delaware's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has contracted with JobAps to assist with reengineering the state's recruitment and hiring process. The JobAps system will provide online application as well as testing, and screening of job candidates.
"Applicants for state jobs will receive comprehensive descriptions of positions, quickly assess their qualifications, receive notification of results more quickly and have more control over their job search," OMB Director Jennifer Davis said. "Hiring managers will have greater flexibility to manage recruitment which will result in more qualified job candidates."
OMB's Human Resource Management Section will manage implementation of the new system, which is expected to be available to the public in March 2007.
