Civil Service recruitment principles
The Civil Service Commission is committed to the principle of appointing on merit and therefore promotes and supports efforts to draw the best candidates from a strong and diverse field. It considers that a diverse workforce, appointed on merit through a fair and transparent process, enhances performance and effectiveness by better reflecting the people they serve.
The Civil Service recruitment principles 2018 (GOV.UK website) explain the legal requirement of selecting people to work for the Civil Service. Defra’s approach to recruitment must be consistent with these Recruitment Principles
