New Online Job Posting and Employment Site Under Development

As a follow-up to earlier communication, DHRM is pleased to announce that work has begun on a new online job posting and employment site. On November 1, 2005, DHRM issued a Notice of Award to PeopleAdmin of Austin, Texas to provide services for a statewide Recruitment Management System (RMS). In December 2005, an implementation team was created consisting of representatives from PeopleAdmin, DHRM and several other state agencies (VSP, DJJ, DCJS, and DSS). The team is currently reviewing an interactive prototype of the statewide RMS designed by PeopleAdmin. An onsite visit from the PeopleAdmin project team is scheduled for early February and a go-live date is anticipated for early summer.
