For public-service job seekers

Never miss a government vacancy again

We track the weekly DPSA Public Service Vacancy Circular and departmental notices, then alert you when matching posts publish. Alerts show the source evidence and check date available for each record.

Finding the right post is the hard part

The vacancies are public, but they are buried, spread across dozens of sources, and shadowed by scams. Most people miss posts simply because they never saw them in time.

A 200-page circular every week

The DPSA Public Service Vacancy Circular lands every week and runs to hundreds of pages. Reading all of it, on time, to spot the few posts that fit you is a job on its own.

Notices scattered everywhere

Departments, provinces, municipalities and SOEs also post vacancies on their own sites and notice boards. Closing dates pass before you ever see the advert.

Scams that charge you to apply

Fake recruiters promise a government job for a fee. Applying for a real public-service post is always free, and no one official will ask you to pay.

How Govermate helps you keep up

We do the reading so you do not have to: searchable vacancies, timely alerts, source evidence and filters that match the way you look for work.

Source evidence you can inspect

We parse public-service vacancies and show the available official source or archive evidence, plus the date it was collected or checked, so you can verify the advert before applying.

Alerts when matching posts publish

Tell us the roles you want and we alert you the moment a matching vacancy is published, while there is still time to prepare and submit.

Filter by department, province and role

Cut the weekly circular down to what matters to you. Filter by department, province and role so you only see the posts worth your time.

We never charge you to apply

We never charge you to apply, and government does not either. Inspect the source evidence Govermate shows and confirm the advert through the issuing body before applying. If anyone asks you to pay for a government job, treat it as a scam.
