Three in four local governments are recruiting unfairly and incorrectly, Poland's Supreme Audit Office (NIK) revealed.

According to NIK, most local governments intentionally manipulating recruitment procedures, competitions and their results, in order to maintain practices of nepotism.

The NIK said its investigation revealed irregularities in the personnel selection processes in 34 of the 45 offices it audited. The Polish Press Agency (PAP) reported that NIK specifically criticized four offices in which such irregularities had a negative effect on the results of the recruitment. In other words, the wrong person for the job was hired.
