Praise for ApplyOnLine, Macedonian e-Government Application

The electronic application for employment in the Macedonian state administration ApplyOnLine has been selected as Editor’s Choice of ePractice.eu portal. This is the 38th application that received this prestigious award, out of the 810 that were submitted. This is the first award for an e-Government case study from a country which is not an EU member-state.

"In cooperation with USAID’s eGov project and the software company NextSense, we managed to implement an electronic system which is free and intended for the citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, offering a simpler and more efficient manner of employment in the civil services," stated Aleksandar Ugrinoski, State Advisor on information technologies in the Civil Servants Agency.

In May and June 2007, Metamorphosis Foundation conducted a survey of candidates for civil servant jobs who used the application, confirming its high value.
