Case study

UNIPVC – Recruitment Procedures Platform

We developed the recruitment procedures platform for the Universidade Politécnica de Viana do Castelo: a portal where candidates browse vacancies and apply online, and a back office where staff prepare each procedure, appoint the selection panel and give an assessment of each application.

UNIPVC platform on a laptop and a mobile phone: assessment of an application and its stages

The project

How we helped

Platform Development

  • Candidate portal: open vacancies, notices and official documents, registration, profile and online applications by section.
  • Staff back office: job vacancies, applications received and export to PDF, CSV and Excel.
  • Procedure workflow: six stages, from preparation to the selection panel, with validation before approval.
  • Panel and assessment: appointment of the selection panel and an HR assessment for each application.
  • Integrated into the institution’s ecosystem: a module of ON.IPVC, with the look of the UNIPVC portal.

About UNIPVC

The Universidade Politécnica de Viana do Castelo recruits through public recruitment procedures. The platform brings together in one system what candidates see and what staff do, from the published notice to the assessment of each application.

Inside the app

The work the app saves

  1. On the portal, candidates search open vacancies, read the notice and the official documents (minutes, BEP and Diário da República) and apply section by section. Profile details carry over to the application automatically, and in their personal area they can track, edit or withdraw each application.

    Complete applications, with all the required documents

  2. Each procedure moves through the stages draft, approved, published, applications closed, HR assessment and selection panel. A validation checklist shows what is missing (details, job description, configuration, documentation and panel), and the procedure can only be approved once everything is ready.

    No procedure moves forward with missing data

  3. Staff choose the chair and the full and substitute members from the people already registered, or create a new panel member, whose account then awaits confirmation by staff.

  4. Human resources go through the applications one by one, with qualifications, experience, training and documents alongside the assessment: admit, admit conditionally or exclude, with the evaluation formula. A progress indicator shows how many applications have already been assessed.
