SPA accelerates filling of nursing vacancies, more than 1,000 filled
KUALA KANGSAR: The Public Service Commission (SPA) has filled more than 1,000 nursing vacancies in the public service to date, with open interviews being conducted to expedite the recruitment process.
The Public Service Commission (SPA) has quickly filled more than 1,000 nursing vacancies in Malaysia's public service, with ongoing interviews to speed up the recruitment process. SPA Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Jailani Muhamed Yunus revealed that the government still requires several hundred more nurses to meet the urgent demand in the healthcare sector.
The SPA introduced open interviews and walk-in methods earlier this year, offering opportunities for qualified youths to join the public service through career carnivals nationwide. Candidates with a diploma in nursing can directly walk in for interviews, while those who haven't submitted an online application can complete their SPA application at the interview center prior to attending the session.
This new approach aims to expedite the recruitment process, as delays may occur with traditional methods. SPA is also focusing on filling other critical positions, such as Public Health Assistants (PKA), due to the high demand for nurses, particularly in the rapidly growing healthcare industry. The government encourages civil servants to seek better employment opportunities after their contracts, but SPA ensures succession plans are implemented by continually recruiting new personnel.
