EMPLOYMENT & CAREERS

Applicant Tracking System

DHRM is in the process of developing specifications for a statewide Recruitment Management System (RMS) for applicant tracking purposes. The specifications are being developed with the assistance of the Recruitment and Retention Advisory Council and other state agencies. A budget request to fund the RMS has been submitted. If funding is approved, an RFP will be issued.

For more information on the RMS initiative, contact Sandy Johnson at sandy.Johnson@dhrm.virginia.gov .

Job Posting on Agency Web Sites

Recently when posting jobs in RECRUIT, some agencies have begun to direct job applicants to their web sites for more detailed information about available employment opportunities. While this may provide a rich source of information for job seekers, including specific and detailed job information in the RECRUIT announcement is important also. Therefore, when electing to direct potential job seekers to their web sites, agencies should post in RECRUIT a brief description of the duties of the advertised position along with a prominently displayed hot link to their employment page, rather than to the agency home page. The employment link on the agency web site should be clearly visible and easily accessible for users.

Questions and comments may be forwarded to Sandy Johnson at sandy.Johnson@dhrm.virgnia.gov .
