Submissions sought for innovative employment website
Developers and firms are being invited to submit proposals to help create a state-of-the-art website for job seekers and employers.
The Ministry of Economy and Labour has issued a Request for Proposal as it seeks to replace the Bermuda Job Board.
The online national employment database was launched in 2013.
The Department of Workforce Development said it was spearheading this initiative, recognising the need for a modern, user-friendly platform that would significantly improve the job search experience, streamline recruitment processes for employers and boost workforce readiness across the island.
Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, said: "We are committed to empowering Bermuda's workforce and supporting our local employers with the best tools available.
"This new platform will be a cornerstone in our strategy to enhance job readiness and employment outcomes, providing seamless access to opportunities, training resources and career guidance."
• Advanced job board: A user-friendly job board that efficiently connects job seekers with employers, featuring intuitive search functions and real-time updates.
• Reporting functionality: Tools for employers and job seekers to track progress, analyse trends and make informed decisions.
• Easy navigation: A design focused on accessibility and simplicity, ensuring that users of all skill levels can easily navigate the site.
• Access to micro courses: Quick, targeted educational modules to help users upskill and stay competitive in the job market.
• Career pathway videos: A comprehensive catalogue of videos that guide job seekers through various career options, helping them visualise and plan their professional journeys.

The Government is seeking experienced web developers and design firms to submit proposals that demonstrate “innovation, technical expertise and a deep understanding of the employment sector's needs”.
Mr Hayward added: "This is more than just a website, it’s a critical tool for economic empowerment, aligning with the Government’s broader mission to equip Bermudians with the resources they need to succeed in a dynamic job market."
Interested parties are asked to review the full details of the RFP.
A spokesman for the Department of Workforce Development said: “Proposals will be evaluated based on their ability to deliver a solution that meets the highest functionality, security, and user experience standards.
“The department looks forward to collaborating with a forward-thinking partner who shares our vision for a thriving, well-prepared workforce.”
