Government Political Appointment System

Overview

Scope IT’s Staff Appointments System allows an organization/government agency to onboard an applicant. The solution allows the admin to request shortlisted candidates to submit their profile. The solution then creates an account for the candidates and sends them an email requesting submission of their profile. Following this, the applicant is able to submit their profile, and the admin is able to select a candidate and appoint or nominate the candidate to a position in an entity (department/board/commission). The solution tracks the various roles in each entity along with the appointee’s start date and end date.
