| Summary: | Skilled and motivated personnel are
arguably the most important determinant of an effective
government. How does a government recruit the best and the
brightest? This Governance Note examines different
approaches to recruiting through career- and
position-oriented systems; measuring knowledge versus
competencies; screening applicants through written or oral
tests; and recruiting junior- and senior-level civil
servants. It also compares the advantages and disadvantages
of centralized and decentralized recruitment processes.
Although this note primarily focuses on civil servants, many
of the findings presented here are generalizable to other
public employees, such as teachers and health workers. |
