The assurance that with the use of software program for the selection of recruits to arms - corps, branches and units of the National Guard, the integrity of the process is ensured, Defence Minister Haralambos Petridis gave once again today to parents and recruits.
The selection process of the new recruits of the 2022 ESSO was held today in the presence of the Minister, the Chief of the National Guard Lieutenant General Demokritos Zervakis, the Director General of the Ministry of Defence Andreas Loukas and members of the Parliamentary Defence Committee. The recruits will be informed of their placement and unit at the time of their enlistment.
According to a press release from the Ministry, after the process, the Minister said that the current selection of recruits into arms - corps, branches and units was done through a certified software program, which drew data submitted electronically by the recruits on the platform of the Ministry of Defence.
"I want to stress and reassure parents and recruits that the use of this particular software program absolutely ensures the integrity of the process, which is not susceptible to any human intervention. The meritocracy in the manner of placement of National Guardsmen is done through measurable criteria established through the ranking table of the conscripts and their declaration of preferences," he said.
He added that as far as the results of the current process are concerned, it has been ensured by the Selection Process Committee that they will be communicated to the conscripts only on the day of their placement.
The results of the selection process, Petrides said, show that over 70% of the recruits were placed in their preferred 1st Guards, noting that this percentage is particularly important as the recruits know that their choices are taken into account in their placement.
In conclusion, on the occasion of the start of the enlistment of the 2022 ESSO recruits next Monday, Mr. Petrides wished them a good and productive service.
