It is more targeted for many provinces to start the recruitment of civil servants in 2020.

  Beijing launched the recruitment of civil servants’ provincial examinations, and registration began on November 18th.

  On the 15th, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Civil Servants issued the Announcement on the Recruitment of Civil Servants by Beijing Organs at All Levels in 2020, which will organize and implement the recruitment of civil servants at the level of first-level chief clerk and below and other equivalent ranks by Beijing organs at all levels in 2020, and the non-directional Selected Graduates recruitment in Beijing in 2020 will be incorporated into the recruitment of civil servants simultaneously. This recruitment will start on November 18th.

  The announcement made it clear that except for some special positions and professional positions, municipal authorities mainly recruit people who have been in grassroots work experience for more than 2 years. Grassroots posts such as streets, towns and villages in hard and remote areas can appropriately lower the entry threshold.

  In terms of registration conditions for non-Beijing freshmen, this year’s policy is not much different from last year. According to the announcement, fresh graduates from ordinary colleges and universities in Beijing who are not from Beijing are undergraduate or above; Graduates who have obtained "three good students", "outstanding student cadres" or "outstanding student scholarships" at or above the school level during their highest academic qualifications in ordinary colleges and universities outside Beijing can apply for the exam.

  It is worth noting that, compared with last year’s recruitment announcement in Beijing, the announcement issued this time increased the number of people who were expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) Party membership, and those who were legally listed as joint disciplinary targets for dishonesty were not allowed to apply. At the same time, the announcement also proposed for the first time that the qualification examination runs through the whole process of recruitment. If it is found that the applicant does not meet the qualification requirements in all aspects of recruitment, the recruitment agency may cancel his qualification for registration or employment.

  "In this year’s recruitment announcement in Beijing, in the face of different recruitment groups, such as fresh graduates, foreign students, retired soldiers, disabled people and other candidates, the recruitment requirements of the Beijing exam can be described as more professional and humanized." For example, Li Xiaotong, an expert in the public examination of Huatu Education, said that "graduation on time" became one of the recruitment conditions for the first time in the recruitment of civil servants in Beijing in 2020, which means that students who have delayed graduation due to some factors will no longer be recruited.

  Provide more jobs, and the recruitment scale of provincial examinations has increased.

  Previously, Shanghai and Jiangsu provinces have started the recruitment of civil servants in their respective provinces in 2020, and the registration has now ended.

  According to the reporter’s statistics, the Beijing civil service examination plans to recruit 3620 people. Among them, there are 3162 ordinary positions; 223 people in Selected Graduates; 190 positions for retired college students; 20 positions for the disabled; 25 people in special positions.

  In the last year, in 2019, Beijing authorities at all levels planned to recruit 3,243 civil servants. Compared with the previous year, the scale of this recruitment has expanded by about 11.6%.

  Similar to the situation in Beijing, the number of civil servants recruited in Shanghai and Jiangsu has also increased to varying degrees this year.

  Among them, in 2020, Jiangsu Province plans to enroll 7985 civil servants and staff of reference management units. Compared with last year, there were 1478 plans, an increase of 22.7%.

  In Shanghai, in 2020, authorities at all levels in the city and institutions (units) managed according to the Civil Service Law launched a total of 1,847 recruitment positions, and planned to recruit 3,803 people. The number of planned recruits increased by 680 compared with 2019.

  It is more targeted to explore the selection of graded and classified examinations in many places

  Although there are differences in the registration time of provincial examinations in the three provinces, from the examination time, the three provinces will conduct written examinations on the same weekend in early December.

  Among them, the written examination time for public subjects in Shanghai and Jiangsu provinces is December 7, 2019, and the examination time for public subjects in Beijing is December 8, 2019.

  It is noteworthy that Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu will all implement graded and classified examinations in this year’s recruitment. Among them, this year’s announcement in Beijing clearly put forward that "the principle of classification and grading should be reflected in the examination content". Li Xiaotong introduced that this move is to make test questions for grassroots positions such as posts at or above the district level (including district level) and townships (streets) in public subject examinations.

  Shanghai will be divided into two types of papers: A and B. The "candidates" will take the A-type papers for positions with more than two years of grassroots work experience, and B-type papers for positions with "unlimited candidates". In Jiangsu, the public subject examinations in this province are divided into three categories: A, B and C according to the job category.

  "Don’t use the same test paper, but aim at the actual employment needs of the post, and the positions in each region are tested separately, which is more professional and targeted for talent screening and quality requirements." Li Xiaotong said.

  What is the difference between "provincial examination" and "national examination"?

  Compared with the familiar "national examination", what is the difference between the "provincial examination" of civil servants?

  According to experts’ analysis, the recruitment of civil servants by the central organs and their directly affiliated institutions is also known as the "national examination", which recruits civil servants for the central and state organs and their directly affiliated institutions nationwide. The "provincial examination" for civil servants is to recruit civil servants for provincial, city, county and township organs in each province and hold it within the province.

  According to Li Xiaotong, most provinces focus the provincial examination on the written examination from March to May every year, some provinces hold the provincial examination for civil servants in the second half of the year, and a few provinces also take the examination twice a year in spring and autumn. In recent years, in addition to Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and a few other provinces that started the recruitment of civil servants earlier, more and more provinces set the time for starting the written examination of civil servant recruitment on the same day. Among the candidates, this is also called the "civil servant joint examination". (End)
