Abstract

The study explores the digital transformation of public sector hiring in Uganda, highlighting the potential of digital technologies to revolutionise recruitment by enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and transparency. Automation, online platforms, and data-driven decision-making serve to streamline administrative tasks, expand candidate outreach, and promote merit-based hiring. Despite these benefits, significant challenges including data security risks, technological failures, digital divides, and algorithmic biases necessitate strategic intervention. Through document analysis and qualitative research, this study draws on policy documents and government reports to outline current practices and future prospects. It emphasises the need for robust infrastructure, improved digital literacy, and clear policy frameworks to support digital adoption while mitigating risks. Effective leadership and a supportive organisational culture are crucial to successfully navigating the digital shift, aiming to achieve an effective, inclusive, and transparent public sector hiring process in Uganda.
