Recruitment of the first batch of the 100 additional staff for the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) has begun.
In a statement issued yesterday FRCS chief executive officer Mark Dixon During the restructure, the Service had reduced its workforce from approximately 870 employees to 570 staff and last week Mr Dixon had announced last week that the organisation would recruit 100 additional staff to cater for the growing number of taxpayers.
According to FRCS, the first batch of recruitment includes 15 roles comprising 39 positions from various divisions in FRCS including taxation, Customs, intelligence, compliance and investigations (ICI), corporate, finance and people capability and culture (PCC).
Mr Dixon encouraged those staff who were made redundant or whose contracts were not renewed to apply for the positions advertised.
It was also highlighted that at this stage the advertised vacancies were limited to the internal staff and employees who had exited FRCS in 2020 and 2021 due to redundancy and non-renewal of contracts.
However, if these positions remain unfilled, FRCS will seek to recruit for these roles externally.
Advertisements for the first batch of recruitment close on May 5, 2023 while the second batch is expected to be advertised in June 2023.
