How are departments and agencies expected to manage the increase volume of applications?
To facilitate the implementation of NAOS, the PSC implemented the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) – a Web-based recruitment and screening tool – in November 2005 in all its regional offices. PSC regional offices remain available to advise organizations on the staffing opportunities under the new Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and on the best use of the PSRS to select a reasonable number of applications. The PSC has also made PSRS available to departments and provided a number of them with direct access to manage their own advertisements and screening.
