Australian Government's Multiple Human Resources Systems

Airservices Australia have issued a Request for Tender for an "Online Recruitment Management System" (ASA - PRN530, 22-Dec-2008). Unfortunately, this is essentially the same system which three other agencies have already tendered for:

  1. IP Australia, 8 May 2008 (IPAC2008/11476)
  2. Australian Bureau of Statistics, 7-Mar-2008 (ABS076).
  3. Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, 30-Apr-2008 (DCON/08/10)
These systems are for the recruitment of staff for the same organisation, the Australian Public Service, so it seems unnecessary to have more than one system to do it. Such rationalisation was supposed to be addressed in Peter Gershon's: Review of Australian Government's Use of Information and Communication Technology. Apart from the waste of resources, the multiple systems will generate more greenhouse gas pollution that a coordinated approach would.
