Public Sector Recruitment

Intellecta has extensive experience in recruitment for state, municipal, and public institutions.

We understand both the professional requirements and applicable administrative regulations, and we follow a process that ensures transparency and strong, objective outcomes at every step.

Consultants with expertise in public sector recruitment

We have managed numerous recruitments for management and specialist positions, participated in qualification committees, supported boards, committees, and managers in recruitment processes that must meet strict public administration requirements for fairness, equality, and justification.

This ensures transparency, professionalism, and trust in all recruitment processes.

Intellecta's Approach

Intellecta’s recruitment process combines HR best practices with clear administrative requirements.

The objective is twofold:

  • To maximize the likelihood of hiring the most qualified candidate
  • To ensure all decisions are objective, well-justified, and comply with laws and regulations

This reduces the risk of disputes and serious aftermath while ensuring a professional and reliable process for all parties.
