Eskom is crowdsourcing skilled workers to keep the lights on
The utility has been looking for skilled workers to aid with its “operational recovery and rebuilding of skills.”
Importantly, Eskom says all individuals who join on a crowdsourcing basis are required to transfer their skills to the permanent Eskom team that they work with. Examples of this are when a fast food company may release a competition asking the public what their next big meal item should be called, or when an institution runs a poll to decide the name ofFor Eskom, crowdsourcing skills differ from usual recruitment as there are no job adverts posted. Instead, the entity is seeking to target specific technical challenges.
The database has collected 238 individuals to date, according to Eskom, with 153 shortlisted as “potentially active, skilled, and willing candidates.”
