E-Recruitment System: Eastern Cape
The main reason for developing the e-recruitment system was to improve the turnaround time of the whole recruitment process which was a long period due to the process of typing a Masterlist, using an Excel spreadsheet. Masterlist was delaying the recruitment process since some jobs had more than 2000 applicants. This required more resources in terms of personnel and time. As each applicant applies for a job, the Z83 and masterlist is generated by the system, Recruitment officials can view applicant profiles and download the applicants’ files for the job before and after the closing date.

The BizPortal Platform
The BizPortal is a platform that was developed by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) to offer company registration and related services in a simple, paperless, and seamless digital way. It was developed in response to the quest for improving the ease of doing business in South Africa, especially starting a business. The challenges that have been addressed through the BizPortal include a reduction in turnaround times in company registrations. According to the World Bank Report 2019, it took over 40 days to start a business in South Africa. Starting a business not only involves registering with the CIPC, but it also includes tax registration, Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) and Compensation Fund registration. With the introduction of the BizPortal, all these services can now be done in a single online application process that can be concluded within a few minutes or up to 24 hours.
