Under the Civil Service Commissioners Act 1956, recruitment to permanent positions in the Civil Service is carried out by the Civil Service Commissioners, who are involved in recruitment to a range of positions in the Civil Service using open competition. The number of persons assigned is as follows:
| Year | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | January 2004-March 2004 |
| Administrative posts | 1737 | 2765 | 4308 | 3417 | 3175 | 1339 | 344 |
| Professional and Technical posts | 234 | 285 | 286 | 544 | 570 | 385 | 60 |
| Total | 1971 | 3050 | 4594 | 3961 | 3745 | 1724 | 404 |
On occasion, a candidate assigned to a Department may not report for duty. In that instance the Department in question makes a subsequent request to the Civil Service Commissioners.
