Merit Recruitment Diagnostics

Our Approach

Are governments recruiting candidates with the best skills and competencies for the job? 

Our merit recruitment diagnostics combine surveys of civil servants, surveys of personnel managers and administrative records to help governments understand where and how to improve the design and implementation of merit recruitment in public administration .

The results were instrumental for the development of the new Law of Public Officials which strengthens merit recruitment in public service.
