The state bodies of Azerbaijan must correctly assess the work of state servants and correctly use personnel potential, said Yusif Huseynov, the head of the sector of the public service and personnel issues department of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration.
Huseynov made the remarks at a conference on improving the activity of state bodies in the application of civil service legislation in Baku on July 10.
He added that depending on the assessment results, it is necessary to pay attention to the encouragement of state servants.
Huseynov further added that new requirements should be made in connection with upgrading of qualifications of state servants.
“During the presidency of national leader Heydar Aliyev, reforms were carried out in the state service in Azerbaijan,” he said, adding that a legislative base, regulating the relations in state service, was established to increase the efficiency of public administration.
Huseynov stressed that the changes concerning admission to the state service and the continuation of work in that sphere were made in the Azerbaijani legislation.
Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the State Examination Center Maleyka Abbaszadeh, in turn, stressed that a regulatory framework should be created.
Abbaszadeh, addressing the conference, said that the admission process should be more flexible.
“We should give a chance to each person to build the career in public service. The creation of such a social elevator is our duty,” she noted.
Under the current Law “On Civil Service” citizens are admitted to the civil service on the basis of a competition and an interview.
Candidates at the age of 16 are allowed to take part in the competition for civil service.
Candidates who successfully pass the exam are admitted to the interview. A special commission is set up to conduct the interview. Each candidate is given at least 20 minutes and is assessed according to the ball system.
Information about the results of the interview is posted on the official website of the State Examination Center.
Candidates who successfully passed the test and the interview for appointment to the vacant position are submitted to the relevant state bodies. The head of the state body must inform the Center of the decision within 10 working days after the submission of the candidates.
