"Appreciation and a deep ethical obligation": The news for reservists and their family members

The Civil Service Committee unanimously approved a dedicated recruitment track for the civil service for reservists, their spouses and war wounded. 10% of public tenders will be allocated to a track exempt from tender. The move, led by Civil Service Commissioner Doron Cohen, will be brought for government approval and is expected to remain in force until the end of 2028.

The Civil Service Committee unanimously approved a dedicated recruitment track for the civil service, under which 10% of public tenders will be allocated to a tender-exempt track for reservists, their spouses and war wounded. The move, led by Civil Service Commissioner Doron Cohen, will be brought for government approval. The track is intended for reservists who served lengthy service, parents of a child shared with a reservist, and IDF disabled veterans. Candidates will be able to compete for dedicated positions without a public tender requirement, after no suitable candidate is found in an internal tender, and subject to meeting threshold conditions and professional screening procedures. The positions will be divided into five occupational clusters: management and leadership, strategy and planning, emergency and security, technology and information systems, and operations and service management. The track will not grant automatic appointment; candidates will be required to undergo a screening and selection process and a trial period. The directive is expected to remain in force until the end of 2028, with a re-examination about half a year after it takes effect. The article quotes Cohen saying the move rests on "appreciation and a deep ethical obligation" to those who give of themselves for the state.
