Control over external hiring at ministries, autonomous government agencies and implementing organisations

External hiring trends

The proportion of hired professionals within the government has risen from 6% to 13%.
Fewer new assignments are being outsourced, while contract renewals are increasing, which puts the focus on retaining scarce expertise.
The central government pays the highest hourly rates of all sectors on average.
57% of hired professionals are open to returning to permanent employment.
