Abstract: In Romania, the process of recruiting civil servants suffers from obvious deficiencies in terms of attracting the most qualified individuals to the public sector.In order to correct this problem, an important measure was recently introduced - based on the Administrative Code: a new type of competition to fill vacant positions in the public administration.We refer to the "two-stage national competition" and its aim is to ensure a transparent recruitment, based on skills and merit, in direct accordance with the identified needs and requirements of the institutions.The new model was the result developed by NACS/National Agency of Civil Servants and GGS/General Secretariat of the Government in collaboration with the World Bank and is aligned to a performance-oriented general competence framework. The purpose of this paper is identified by x-raying the current reform of the recruitment and selection of civil servants, in the context of the need for a better fit between the newly recruited human resource and the requirements of the employing institutions.
