Our Association with the CPSA

In 2004 the Civil Service and Local Appointments Commission (CSLAC) was dissolved and 2 new bodies were established; the Public Appointments Service (PAS) and the Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA).

Publicjobs.ie is the public face of the Public Appointments Service, which will act as the centralised recruitment, assessment and selection body for public service departments. Together with the CPSA, we will work to provide an efficient, fair recruitment service for the public service sector.

The CPSA's role is to regulate recruitment in the public service bodies. They publish recruitment and selection Codes of Practice, which outline the standards to which all public service bodies must conform.

The CPSA's mission is:

“to achieve an excellent public service by fostering a flexible approach in recruitment and selection while upholding the principles of probity, merit, equity and fairness”
