# Project JSAP Research
## Overview
[Datapoint solutions](https://datapoint.com.pk/) is building a Job Search and Applications Platform that they want to offer as a software service to provincial governments for non-public-service-commission (PSC) and project-based jobs.
Datapoint plans on partnering with the [NTC](https://ntc.net.pk/) to accomplish this by
- Leveraging the NTC's hosting infrastructure
- Having the NTC offer this service to the governments as they offer other technical solutions
- Unify the application mechanism for non-PSC and project jobs for Pakistan's provincial governments
### The problem
Provincial governments currently don't have a standardized digital hiring platform.
This prevents them from getting insights and managing how to staff jobs with high quality candidates.
### Concerning Figures
From partially collected data from the KP PMRU, There were 6853 posts and 323521 applicants across 21 KP gov departments during 2021.
5539 posts were filled, leaving 19% of pots unfilled.
Governments currently lack any meaningful insights or monetization from **over 323521 applications**.

### The opportunity
The NTC stands to take a share of the projected 380+ Million PKR per year as part of a shared revenue agreement with DPS and the governments that use the platform.
Revenue pool from current KP Figures: PKR 97,056,300
Projected revenue pool from estimated Punjab figures (KP * 3) = PKR 291,168,900
## Benefits
- Higher visibility into data-driven insights at a district-based level
- Shared revenue for the NTC
- The federal government has a portal while the provincial governments don't
- Managing the application platform infrastructure is not optimal because government IT board is not
