How to select civil servants around the world

Hello, as a popular choice for employment, the selection mechanism of civil servants has attracted much attention from the society. Judging from the general international experience, all countries in the world have formed a civil servant selection system suitable for their current and future development through the organic combination of social training, examination selection and democratic recommendation according to their national conditions and development characteristics.

India has a large population base and fierce competition in the selection of civil servants. It adopts the "national examination" method similar to China, but the system is relatively flexible; Germany, Australia and other countries have adopted the "on-demand recruitment" approach. Among them, there are many recruitment methods in Australia, including random recruitment, batch recruitment for students' graduation season, and some recruitment work is entrusted to professional headhunters. The selection targets are international and open to both domestic citizens and international immigrants. One of the characteristics of American civil service selection is to select talents from elites in all fields of society to enrich the civil service: governments at all levels hire a large number of professionals from universities and research institutes to serve in government agencies every year; When government officials need to recharge their batteries, they often go back to universities for further study or go to scientific research institutions to improve themselves by participating in research projects.

In recent years, through continuous self-innovation, China's civil service selection system has become more standardized and professional, especially in democratic recommendation, improving competitive selection methods, improving the selection mechanism of outstanding young cadres, classifying examinations, and improving the fairness and scientificity of civil service examinations. Judging from the development of China's civil servants and the needs of future social development, the selection of civil servants in China can and should learn from the good experience of other countries, and it is diversified. For example, establish a talent selection mechanism outside the system, broaden the channels for overseas high-level talents to enter, and increase the flexibility of selecting people from financial, legal and other professional departments. In addition, we can learn from the "on-demand recruitment" in some countries, establish a multi-party flow mechanism for governments, universities, scientific research institutions and enterprises, increase the flexibility of selecting civil servants, promote the effective docking of civil servants with knowledge and culture in various industries and fields of society, and form a virtuous circle of talent teams in the whole society. Of course, we can only learn from the experience of other countries selectively according to China's national conditions and specific institutional mechanisms, instead of copying them all.

The construction of civil servants plays an important role in the sustainable development of the country and the promotion of global governance. Especially in the critical period of China's comprehensive deepening reform, civil servants, as important participants, promoters and innovators, should proceed from the overall situation of improving the ruling ability and governance level and further accelerate the innovation of the selection mechanism.

Wish you success!
