Syrinx Shares in GSA Award to USAJobs for Streamlining Employment Process
The US General Services Administration (GSA) recently announced winners of the First Annual Services Award and 2nd place was awarded to Recruitment OneStop: USAJobs, which is run by the US Office of Personnel Management. The award was given, among other services, for streamlining the federal employment process and allowing applicants to upload required documents directly with their application, as opposed to faxing or mailing as was required in the past. Syrinx’s own Gregg Valeri contributed significantly to this project.
Gregg’s recent contributions include architecting a high-performance, highly scalable and secure solution that allows job applicants to upload required documents (including formal government and military documents), along with their resume, to be electronically attached to their online application. He also developed the solution using .Net Remoting, and integrated it with third-party security software including virus protection and separate encryption software. His solution also included other custom-developed software that was required by government standards. The uploaded documents are scanned and stored on a secure server. The solution easily handles the more than 25,000 job applications that USAJobs processes every day. This new process has contributed to the more than $25 million that USAJobs has saved the federal government each year, as well as to increasing the quantity and quality of the applicant pool.
