    Description
    Since 2018, the Personnel Recruitment and Selection Area of the Directorate General of Civil Service (DGSC) has been developing an initiative that aims to transform the recruitment and selection processes applying to civil servants of 45 institutions that operate under the Civil Service Regime, as to stimulate efficiency, automation, and accessibility in the supply of administrative positions. Against this framework, the action, through the involvement of various teams of Spanish experts mobilized by SOCIEUX+, aimed to significantly improve the civil service recruitment system mainly by accompanying a consultation process involving a sample of HR offices and their regional headquarters, as to take into account their perception and needs. Based on those consultations, experts helped co-constructing a new comprehensive operational model for recruitment, one that is transparent and in accordance with the directives of the Public Employment Framework Law. Finally, experts also helped to develop software requirements for the system’s automation and harmonization.

    Description
    Through this first Action in partnership with the Dirección General De Servicio Civil of Panama, SOCIEUX+ helped the Partner to reform the process of selection of the personnel of public administrations. Public experts from Spain first looked into the processes of recruitment and selection of the public administration staff, for then putting forward an alternative model focusing on knowledge tests. In the framework of the Action, a test of the new model was done through a pilot project, duly assessed at the end of the cooperation with SOCIEUX+. The latter ultimately provided technical ground and proposed specific models to contribute to the selection of civil servants with a knowledge-based, soft-skilled, meritocratic approach.
