The Public Service Recruitment Secretariat (PSRS) is a government institution established under the Public Service Act of 2007. It operates under the President’s Office, Public Service Management and Good Governance. Its main role is to coordinate and manage the entire recruitment process for the Public Service, ensuring that available job opportunities are filled in a transparent, fair, and competitive manner.
The Secretariat is responsible for announcing job vacancies from various government institutions, receiving applications, conducting interviews, and ultimately recommending qualified candidates to employers. Through this system, the Secretariat helps to reduce challenges such as favoritism, bureaucracy, and lack of transparency in the recruitment process.
In addition, the Public Service Recruitment Secretariat provides guidance and advice to public employers regarding recruitment procedures and continuously improves access to job opportunities through digital platforms. Today, most applicants use the online Recruitment Portal to submit their applications, which has enhanced efficiency, accountability, and openness. The Secretariat plays a vital role in ensuring that the Government acquires skilled, competent, and ethical human resources to drive national development.
