Implementation of the Recruitment, Selection, and Promotion Processes in the Provincial Government of Sorsogon

This study aimed to determine the implementation of the recruitment, selection, and promotion processes of the Provincial Government of Sorsogon from F.Y. 2019-2021. The descriptive method was employed in this study. A survey and an in-depth interview through the use of a checklist questionnaire were used to gather the needed data from 50 hired and 50 promoted respondents.  The gathered data were analyzed and interpreted with the use of appropriate statistical tools and measures. It was revealed that the hired and promoted respondents are young, female, married, and college graduates. More than half of the hired respondents are non-CSC eligible and had attended training and seminars at both local and national levels. They have a very satisfactory performance rating based on the IPCR. The extent of implementation of the Merit   Selection Plan in terms of recruitment and selection as perceived by the respondents was interpreted as implemented. The top three problems encountered by the respondents in the implementation of the recruitment, selection, and processes include the long time to be hired for permanent vacant positions and be promoted to the next higher position, the time needed to comply with needed requirements or documents was short, and the interview was difficult. The action plan is proposed to promote and maintain an effective and efficient implementation of the recruitment, selection, and promotion process of the Provincial Government of Sorsogon.
