Recruitment
Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them
to apply for jobs in the organization (Flippo and Edwin 1984: 141). Broadly, there are two major methods
for recruitment to civil service:
(a) merit system through competitive examination and
(b) spoils system.
Under the typical civil service law, the central personnel agency commonly called Public Service
Commission is responsible to conduct competitive examination. Spoils system (also known as a
patronage system) is an informal practice where a political party, after winning an election, gives
government jobs to its voters as a reward for working towards victory, and as an incentive to keep
working for the party—as opposed to a system of awarding offices on the basis of merit, independent of
political activity.
