“We are almost done,” says Atty. Roland A. Tulay, Chairman of the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (BAFS) Human Resource Merit Promotion and Selection Board (HRMPSB) after they successfully concluded its comprehensive recruitment season, marking a significant step in strengthening the Bureau’s workforce. Deliberations for the selection process were meticulously carried out on June 9 and 10, 2025, ensuring a thorough and fair evaluation of all qualified and deserving applicants. This rigorous process culminated in the final interview stage, where the BAFS Board conducted a face-to-face assessment for a deeper understanding of the applicant’s skills and personality, gauge the non-verbal cues, body language, overall demeanour, and measure the applicant’s fit with the organization through a more personable and engaging interaction.
From a total of 86 applicants, 21 qualified candidates advanced to the final interview stage with the Board. These positions aim to fill the vacant roles across key end-user divisions, including Organic Agriculture Division (OAD), Standards Research Division (SRD), and Technical Services Division (TSD), among others. This recruitment initiative is part of DA-BAFS’ ongoing commitment to continuously enhance its capabilities and effectively deliver excellent services for stakeholders. The Bureau is confident that the selected individuals will significantly contribute to innovation, build stronger relationships and improve overall team dynamics.
