BEIJING, Oct. 27 -- A total of 47 Chinese central organs and organizations under them will recruit 318 people in an annual selection that starts Monday, the State Administration of Civil Service said Sunday.

Candidates, who should currently work as civil servants or employees of state-owned enterprises or institutions, can apply online from Oct. 28 to Nov. 6 and will need to take a national written exam scheduled on Nov. 23.

Political integrity will be a primary criterion, and applicants' will and authorities' recommendations will both be taken into consideration, according to the administration.

China's central organs and organizations under them began to recruit civil servants at lower levels in 2010, while the recruitment from state-owned enterprises and institutions started in 2014.
