Public Service Commission (various countries)

A Public Service Commission (PSC) is an independent government agency responsible for overseeing the recruitment, selection, and management of civil servants. It ensures that hiring processes are fair, transparent, and merit-based, and often sets policies for public sector employment. Across different countries, PSCs maintain standards, uphold ethical practices, and sometimes handle disciplinary actions. Their goal is to build an efficient, competent, and impartial public service that effectively serves citizens' needs. While structures and names may vary, they universally aim to ensure the integrity and professionalism of government workforce management.
