5-step HR process

According to Regulation 80, the process of appointing and introducing candidates is carried out as follows: For on-site human resources, the process consists of 5 steps.

Step 1: Based on the policy, task requirements and planned staff resources, the head presides with the leadership team to discuss, review and agree on the structure, quantity, standards, conditions and personnel procedures; at the same time, review the assessment results and comments for each staff member in the planning (including staff members planned for equivalent positions or higher), through the list of personnel meeting the standards and conditions according to regulations to get opinions and recommendations in the next step.

Step 2: Based on the number, structure, standards, conditions and list of personnel approved in step 1, the head will discuss the orientation of personnel appointment and introduce candidates in accordance with the requirements of the locality and unit for the conference to discuss and introduce personnel by secret ballot (the vote counting results will not be announced at this conference).

Principles of introduction and selection: Each member recommends one person for a position; the person who receives the highest number of votes of approval, over 50% of the total number of people summoned, will be selected. In case no one receives more than 50% of the votes, all people with 30% or more of the votes will be selected to be introduced in the next step. In case no one receives 30% or more of the votes, the next steps will not be continued and the competent authority will be reported for consideration and direction.

Step 3:Based on the results of personnel introduction in step 2, the conference will discuss and introduce personnel by secret ballot.

Principles of introduction and selection: Each member recommends 1 person for a position among the personnel introduced in step 2 or recommends another person who meets the standards and conditions as prescribed. The person who receives the highest number of votes of more than 50% of the total number of people summoned will be selected. In case no one receives more than 50% of the votes, all people with 30% or more of the votes will be selected to be introduced in the next step (the vote counting results will be announced at this conference). In case no one receives 30% of the votes, the next steps will not be continued and the competent authority will be reported for consideration and direction.

In case the personnel introduced in this step is different from the personnel introduced in step 2, the leadership group will meet, discuss, analyze carefully, consider many aspects, consider, and decide to select the personnel to introduce in the next step (by secret ballot) according to its authority and be responsible for its decision. The selected person must have at least 2/3 or more of the total number of members of the leadership group's recommendation votes according to regulations. In case no one receives at least 2/3 of the votes, the next steps will not be continued and the competent authority will be reported for consideration and direction.

Step 4:Organize to collect opinions on personnel introductions according to the list introduced in step 3 (vote counting results will not be announced at this conference).

Step 2: Discuss and get opinions from the collective leadership of the place where the cadre is working on the policy of mobilizing, appointing, and recommending candidates (the recommended person must receive more than 50% of the votes compared to the total number of people summoned; in case the recommended person receives 50% of the votes (not more than half), the head will consider and decide); get assessments and comments from the locality, agency, unit and personnel records according to regulations. (2) Meet the cadre to discuss the requirements of the work tasks.
