Kazakh President receives Chairman of Agency for Civil Service Affairs

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev received Chairman of the Agency for Civil Service Affairs Darkhan Zhazykbay, who reported on the agency’s performance last year and its plans for this year. According to Zhazykbay, personnel process digitization is in full swing, with the eQyzmet system being scaled up. It compiles a candidate database based on qualification requirements. A new «Personnel Selection» function has also been introduced, enabling the ranking of candidates for leadership positions based on electronic personal records. Currently, 19 organizations are connected to the unified database, with around 2,500 more set to join this year.

«A new draft law is currently being developed to implement the Civil Service Development Concept. As part of the concept, there are plans to expand the unified personnel system, establish an early career orientation institute, and utilize artificial intelligence in human resource management. Plans also include introducing a horizontal career growth mechanism for civil servants,» Zhazykbay said.
