Attracting and creating a source of cadres from excellent graduates, experts, and young scientists has been implemented by Ho Chi Minh City for many years, but the number of attracted staff is still limited compared to the city's needs. From Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15 of the National Assembly, Ho Chi Minh City has issued breakthrough and outstanding income levels and preferential policies to remove bottlenecks in attracting talents to participate in the city's political system.
Difficult to compete with the private sector
In 2017, the Government issued Decree 140 on policies to attract and create a source of staff from excellent university graduates and young scientists . Since then, Ho Chi Minh City has implemented a plan to attract experts and scientists to work in agencies and units, but in the entire period of 2019-2023, only 8 people were signed contracts.
Of these, 4 people work at the High-Tech Park Management Board and 4 people work at the High-Tech Agricultural Park Management Board. In 2023, Ho Chi Minh City will attract 3 more officials from excellent graduates and young scientists to work at Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted, Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted, and the Ho Chi Minh City Trade and Investment Promotion Center.
Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Vo Van Hoan assessed that one of the reasons for the low results in attracting excellent graduates and young scientists to work in agencies and units is that the recruitment targets of the units are too low, the treatment is not commensurate, and the requirements are high. This leads to individuals who are talented but do not meet the recruitment requirements.
On the other hand, when people are recruited, there is a situation of inappropriate job placement and a working environment that does not promote the abilities of young people. This makes dynamic young people who want to break out unable to develop, so they look for other ways to develop themselves.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs, the subjects that are attracted and recruited are those with excellent qualifications and academic results; the number of people who meet the standards and conditions to be attracted is very small. Therefore, discovering, training and selecting these cases requires a lot of time and resources.
In addition, highly qualified human resources are often sought after and invited to work by organizations and enterprises outside the public sector with very attractive incomes and many opportunities for career advancement. Therefore, agencies and units in Ho Chi Minh City find it difficult to recruit and retain this team because the legal regulations on regimes and policies on salaries and incomes for cadres, civil servants and public employees are much lower than those of units outside the public sector.
Breakthrough in income and benefits
In order to effectively attract talents to the public sector, Ho Chi Minh City has recently developed many mechanisms and policies with the goal of building high-quality human resources. In particular, Ho Chi Minh City has applied the specific mechanism from Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15 of the National Assembly to issue policies on income and many other incentives to create a breakthrough in attracting talents in the coming time.
In particular, with the policy of recruiting excellent graduates and highly qualified people, in addition to the salary and allowances according to regulations, Ho Chi Minh City supports additional income according to qualifications (from 2 to 4 times the minimum regional salary/month). At the same time, support is based on output products with an incentive level, promoting the capacity of the individual implementing by 1% (5% for the author group) of the total budget of Ho Chi Minh City paid for the approved project.
As for the policy of attracting experts, scientists and people with special talents, individuals are signed contracts according to specific tasks and projects and receive initial subsidies of up to 100 million VND. Experts and scientists have monthly salaries of 30-100 million VND. Upon completion of assigned tasks, people with special talents are rewarded according to their merits and achievements, with a maximum of 1 billion VND/person. In case of necessity, individuals are also entitled to a maximum support policy of 7 million VND/month for housing and other preferential policies.
According to the Department of Home Affairs, these are completely new policies, applied for the first time in Ho Chi Minh City under a special mechanism, the scope is not limited to new recruits but also for working officials, civil servants and public employees to create motivation, retain talent, and overcome the "brain drain" situation.
The Department of Home Affairs has advised the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to issue a plan to implement these policies. The above plan has been deployed to agencies and units that register their needs to attract experts and scientists, and register the list of qualified officials, civil servants and public employees to register their recruitment needs.
Nguyen Si Long, Deputy Head of the Department of Civil Servants and Public Employees, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs, said that immediately after the policies to attract talents were issued, Ho Chi Minh City applied them in conjunction with the implementation of Decree 140 in recruiting 3 civil servants from excellent graduates and young scientists to work at Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted, Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted, and the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Trade and Investment Promotion. After a period of work, the individuals were assessed to have quickly adapted to the job and completed their tasks well.
