Book excerpt: Public sector workforce recruitment, selection and retention is challenging, especially in a competitive work environment like the one that exists today. In any field, it is difficult to find suitable employees for the wide range of positions that exist within a given organization. In the public sector however, finding well-qualified candidates who want to pursue a public service career proves to be an even harder task. Factors such as slow hiring processes, civil service examinations, and lower compensation in comparison to the private sector, tend to steer the millennial generation elsewhere. Changes in prospective employee preferences have caused a great portion of the workforce to be less prone to apply for government jobs. With a younger generation entering the workforce, work-related values, attitudes, and beliefs may need to shift to attract people to the public sector.
