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.
