General Description
The Innovative Introexerts shall develop the Civil Service Examination Online Services to ease the examination process from registration to evaluation.
Project Background
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) is mandated to promote morale, efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, progressiveness, and courtesy in the civil service. It adopts measures to strengthen the merit and rewards system, integrates all human resources development programs for all levels and ranks, and institutionalizes a management climate conducive to public accountability.
One of the most important and visible functions of the CSC is the conduct of examinations to screen aspiring public servants and provide the necessary human resource that the government needs. This is the first step in the process of selecting prospective Civil Servants.
The challenge is to improve the current examination procedures and services of the Commission for the examinees to have a hassle-free Career Service examination experience. Thus, CSC created an innovation team named Innovative Introexerts. Empathizing with clientele helps to develop a project that meets their needs and expectations. Innovative Introexerts believes that the development of the Civil Service Examination Online Services will make the Civil Service examination experience hassle-free and worthwhile for all aspiring civil servants.
