Digital Civil Servant Recruitment Model

Abstract

This study aims to find system innovations and procedures for digitally recruiting civil servants during the Covid-19 pandemic. The current recruitment system still uses the Computer Assist Test (CAT) with computer equipment provided by the committee, so that participants use it interchangeably. Simultaneous testing also has the potential for crowds of participants, even though currently the virus variant is getting stronger and more easily transmitted. The research method uses a literature review from various library sources related to public policy, recruitment models, digital innovation, and government regulations. This study found innovation in the digital civil servant recruitment system. The digital system allows prospective civil servant participants to take a series of administrative tests, basic skills tests, field proficiency tests, to online filing. The system is equipped with sophisticated features so that it does not provide opportunities for participants to cheat. In addition, the system needs to be equipped with protection for privacy and data security.
