1. In order to improve its recruitment process, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) introduced an on-line application facility for educator promotion posts during 2011.

2. The experiences gained from the use of this facility have enabled the WCED to develop a system for on-line recruitment.

3. The WCED is, therefore, proud to announce the introduction of the e-Recruitment System for Educators: "Recruiting the Best". The Recruitment System will be available from 1 December 2012 and will be hosted on the department's website.

4. The benefits for employees are as follows:

  1. The e-Recruitment System for Educators is dependent on employees capturing their curricula vitae on the system. Once a curriculum vitae is captured, an educator can apply for posts online.
  2. The curriculum vitae will be stored online, and may be edited online.
  3. The system is web-based and can be accessed on the Internet at http://wced.school.za/home/home.html
  4. For each application submitted, the system will immediately generate a letter acknowledging receipt of an application for a post.
  5. Applicants will no longer need to make copies of documents for each application submitted, pay postage fees or stand in queues to post an application before the closing date.
  6. An employee's profile on the system will be allocated a unique identification number.
  7. All advertised posts can be viewed on-line.
5. We attach a step-by-step guide for easy navigation of the system.

6. Note that, as from 1 January 2013, all applications for educator posts must be submitted online. Educators are therefore urged to begin compiling their curricula vitae on the e-Recruitment System from 1 December 20] 2 onwards.

7. Kindly bring this circular to the attention of all educators.
