CSC invites gov’t agencies to online job fair

THE Civil Service Commission (CSC), in partnership with Jobstreet.com, is inviting all governm ent agencies to join the Government Online Career Fair (GOCF) to be held on 20-24 September 2021 as part of the 121st Philippine Civil Service Anniversary.

Government agencies may register from 5-25 August 2021 through the Jobstreet Philippines website at https://www.jobstreet. com.ph/en/cms/employer/cscregistration/.

The GOCF is a yearly event that brings together government agencies and job seekers to facilitate applications and possible hiring.

After registration, participating government agencies should complete their agency profile online by 31 August 2021 for review of Jobstreet Philippines. The profile includes basic information about the agency, as well as its corporate branding, to be included in the virtual hiring booth.

Participating government agencies should identify all urgent and/or critical or hard-tofill positions requiring immediate hiring. The positions to be offered should comply with publication and posting requirements on or before the actual event in September. Their job listings should be submitted using CS Form No. 9, s. 2018 (MS Excel Format) together with a short job description for each to govph@jobstreet.com on or before 31 August 2021.

Government agencies will also be required to assign staff to handle the Livechat feature of the online job fair platform during the actual event. Assigned HR staff will undergo chatbot training on 23 August 2021.

Only agencies who are able to register, accomplish the agency profile, submit job listings, and complete chatbot training will be able to join the job fair.

During the online event, agencies must be able to initially review or assess the documents submitted by job applicants after receiving their application. Agencies must also be able to respond promptly to inquiries of applicants, and update them of the status of their applications within the event period.

Agencies are encouraged to practice competency-based assessment that does not discriminate against any qualified interested persons, including persons with disabilities (PWD), members of indigenous communities, and those from any sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression (SOGIE).
