Project Brief
The Victorian Public Sector Commission (VPSC) wanted to find a way to make writing position descriptions and interviewing candidates more efficient.
Project Need
Our solution was to take what used to be a static deck of cards, and create an interactive online resource that’s the go-to when recruiting for government roles.
The Capability Dictionary is a useful resource for all managers in the public sector who need to develop a position description, interview framework or better understand career development skills.
User Experience
Device is no barrier when it comes to using the dictionary. People can access it on their mobile, tablet or desktop, and are delivered a consistent responsive experience.
When creating the online version of this dictionary, our aim was to deliver an awesome digital government experience. One that showcased the depth of information in the dictionary, but made navigation easy.
The cards are neatly positioned in a grid format. The clear icons guide you to find more information and functionality, such as adding a card to your shortlist. Side panels slide in from the left or right depending on whether you want more information or would like to add the capability to your shortlist collection.
The transitions are smooth and seamless. The design uses the Victorian Public Sector Commission colour palette and are within the WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines.
The impact of taking the dictionary online helps the Victorian public sector operate more efficiently and transparently when it comes to recruitment. It also makes what is normally a tedious and time-consuming job, fun and interactive.
Digital - Government Services
The provision of timely government services has been transformed as applications and sites are developed and implemented to either replace or complement previous methods. Be it the delivery of current and up to date critical information, compliance, community support and engagement, notification and registration or providing greater accessibility to government resources.
