Moneyweb reports that Eskom has launched a crowdsourcing digital platform that it hopes will draw in new hires with the critical electrical and engineering skills it needs to address its operational challenges.
“A digital platform and governance mechanism have been designed and implemented to reap the full benefits of the diversity of skills across the country through the crowdsourcing of these skills into the business,” Eskom indicated in a statement on Tuesday. It said the crowdsourcing route, which differed from traditional recruitment, was triggered by specific technical challenges. “[This] is not linked to a permanent position, and it targets a talent pool that consists of highly skilled and experienced persons,” Eskom explained. The utility is looking for highly skilled electricity generation experts such as engineers, power plant operators, artisans and technicians. It has already managed to attract 238 individuals, 135 of whom have been shortlisted as potential candidates. Around 25 candidates have been selected for the first phase of the crowdsourcing intake. “These individuals will commence work between November and December 2022. Additional recruitment will take place as and when required by the business, to meet specific technical needs,” Eskom advised.
