CSC reveals 203,000 gov’t posts remain unfilled
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) reported that there are over 203,000 unfilled government positions nationwide.
The CSC and the Department of Budget and Management identified delays in vacancy publication, stringent qualification requirements, and uncompetitive salaries as key reasons for the shortage.
CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles noted that the HR departments of various agencies are not quick enough in publishing their job openings.
To address the issue, the CSC introduced a preferential rating system in March, offering bonus points to job order (JO) and contract of service (COS) workers who lack eligibility but are proficient in their roles.
This initiative aims to encourage these workers to apply for permanent plantilla positions, preventing wasted government funds due to unspent salaries.
