Summary/Abstract: The desire for a more responsive public management as regards the needs of local communities and citizens has given the urge for the beginning of the decentralization process in the Romanian public sector. One of the ways to meet this desire could be a more responsive policy of employees’ recruitment in public organizations. The paper aims at offering an objective perspective on several issues. Firstly it aims at presenting several considerations on the character of recruitment and selection policies in Romanian public organizations. Secondly, it aims at discussing the different types of administrative reforms that have established the management of post-communist public organizations and the perspectives offered by applying the New Public Management model. Thirdly, the paper addresses the major laws that regulate the recruitment and selection processes in Romanian public organizations.
