E-Recruitment System: A Case of Namibian Government

Online recruitment systems have become widely used in Namibia and all over the globe. These online recruitment systems provide quick results in terms of job ranking and provide cheaper and faster ways of doing recruitment. However, the government of Namibia still uses the traditional method to do recruitment. The traditional method involves submitting hardcopy documents, which tends to be difficult when sorting documents. This study focuses on the design and implementation of a smart, transparent, open and merit-based recruitment system for the Namibia government. The paper also looks into the factors that always lead to delays in the government recruitment process, understanding some of the few technologies that can be introduced to make the recruitment process faster. It further presents a system developed as a result. The study adopted the qualitative research methodology and the incremental model to come up with the system designed.
