A foundational data and reporting framework for Staff Selection 2.0 is delivered, comprising consolidated data and reporting requirements, documented data models, data field specifications for the technical build, contributions to standard operating procedures, and review of proposed changes to the recruitment platform in coordination with the Office of Information and Communications Technology (OICT).
