CRONYISM: Vast majority of government jobs employed from within

One federal official said that Canada loses "many good candidates along the way."

A new report has revealed that a vast amount of government jobs that are supposed to go public are never published where the public can find them, according to Blacklock's Reporter.  

Instead, these jobs are often filled from the inside without much advertising. As a result of this, a federal agency has accused the public service of nepotism.

"Non-advertised appointments for external hiring activities, promotions and acting appointments increased to sixty percent in 2020," said the Public Service Commission.

This is up from thirty percent in 2016, which was the first full year of the Trudeau government's tenure.

Even when job openings were made public, it would take a month for a position to be filled.

"The 2020 median staff time for advertised external processes increased 47 days to 250 calendar days or close to 8.5 months," wrote the commission.

One federal official said that Canada loses "many good candidates along the way."

"I do want to talk about nepotism," he added. "That is certainly something we are on the lookout for at the Commission and that we will investigate if there are allegations if there is evidence there’s been nepotism in a selection process."
