This assignment concerns the purchase, implementation and maintenance of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), whereby the contractor is able to recruit new employees . The objective is to manage the entire recruitment and selection process within one tool, in a cloud application, where necessary or useful through integration with other internal and external platforms to ensure maximum efficiency and automated operation.

These differences are not so much substantive in nature, but rather legal and procedural. The system should support a legally robust, transparent and objective process that complies with the principles of equality,…
