In recent years, the Commission has enabled itself to conduct huge number of recruitments drives faster. It has maintained a high level of transparency by leveraging technology and following best practices in the field of recruitment. I compliment the Commission and its staff for their efforts in clearing the back logs in recruitments and adhering to the Annual Recruitment Calendar.”
