Abstract: In a reflective way, the objective of this paper is to identify evidence of the modernization of public administration that a Brazilian state has achieved in terms of filling positions by appointment, such as for public entrepreneurs, rather than by using civil servant exams,. The research used a qualitative approach, treating primary and secondary data to content analysis. Contributions of the research include the observation that prequalification processes for public entrepreneurs are an advancement in public administration in terms of filling appointed positions. However, based upon the literature review and data, appointing such positions in Brazil can be a way for governments to gain political support, at least when they don't consist of mere appropriation of government jobs for the purpose of bypassing civil exams, which are usually mandatory in Brazil.
