To facilitate the use of Part VI of the PIMS Users' Manual, the information for the recruitment component has been divided into six separate components.
As explained in Part III of the PIMS Users'Manual, the main focus of PIMS is to oversee priority entitlements; a separate component of PIMS has been added to incorporate recruitment services offered by the Staffing and Assessment Services Branch of the PSC, for the convenience of departments.
Actions you can choose
The actions are very similar to those available in the previous "Robot" forms which PIMS replaces.
