How is admission to the civil service carried out?

Admission to the civil service is only through a national competition procedure.

The candidate selection process is based on the assessment of the candidates' professional skills, which includes pre-selection, written testing, and a structured oral interview.

First-time admission to the civil service is only made in the category “ekzekutive”, but there are also exceptions such as:

• Accepting candidates from outside the civil service to compete for a limited number of low- and mid-level management positions;
• Based on a competition to become part of the high-level management body that is open to candidates from abroad;

The competition procedure is carried out by "responsible unit”.

The Department of Public Administration is "responsible unit" on the organization of the recruitment procedure in the civil service for state administration institutions. While for independent institutions/Local Self-Government Units, "responsible unit" is the human resources unit created within the institution.
