As the number of applicants for "general employment", so-called "career bureaucrats", of national civil servants is declining, the National Personnel Authority is trying to increase the number of students who apply concurrently with private companies, and the timing of recruitment examinations is set according to the job hunting activities of the private sector. I have decided to move it forward by about a month.
Although the number of applicants for the employment examination for "general employment" of national civil servants who are so-called "career bureaucrats" increased from the previous year, it is 3 compared to 2012 when the examination system was adopted. It is on a downward trend, such as a decrease of more than a percentage.
Under these circumstances, Governor Kawamoto of the National Personnel Authority said at a press conference, "Securing public servant personnel is in a critical situation. There are many opinions that the test period should be advanced as the system becomes more and more popular. "
After that, he said, "We want to be able to take the employment exam earlier, and we will proceed with the examination in the direction of moving the entire schedule forward by about one month," and increase the number of students who apply concurrently with private companies. Therefore, he expressed his intention to move the recruitment examination for "career bureaucrats", which is currently being held in April, about one month ahead of schedule.
The National Personnel Authority wants to put together a concrete plan by August and implement it ahead of schedule as soon as possible.
