Notes and Z83 guidance

Effective from 7 April 2021, the National Treasury now utilises an e-Recruitment System which means all applicants must login/register to apply for positions, we only accept hand delivered/posted applications should an applicant prove that he/she tried to apply via e-Recruitment with no success and the National Treasury ICT unit was unable to assist. The applicant’s profile on the eRecruitment is equivalent to the newly approved Z83, and it is the responsibility of applicants to ensure their profiles are fully completed or their applications will not be considered, as per the DPSA Practice Note. Certain documentation will still be required to be uploaded on the system such as copies of all qualifications including National Senior Certificate/Matric certificate, ID, etc., however these documents need not be certified at point of application, however certification will be required prior to attending the interview. Please note: All shortlisted candidates, including the SMS, shall undertake two pre-entry assessments. One will be a practical exercise to determine a candidate’s suitability based on the post’s technical and generic requirements and the other must be an integrity (ethical conduct) assessment. It should be noted that the National Treasury does not support the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in any of its recruitment and selection processes and will disqualify an application if it picks up the use of AI when completing assessments without acknowledging the source of information. Successful completion of the Nyukela Public Service SMS Pre-entry Programme as endorsed by the National School of Government, available as an online course on https://www.thensg.gov.za/training-course/sms-pre-entry-programme/, prior to finalisation of appointment, is a requirement for all SMS positions.

  • All qualifications, criminal and SA citizenship checks will be conducted on all shortlisted candidates and, where applicable, additional checks will be conducted in line with the new DPSA Directive effective 01 April 2024. Please note that by responding to our advertisement/s, you consent to the collection, processing, and storing of your Personal Information for internal HR processes in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), Act No. 4 of 2013. In the event that your application is unsuccessful, the Department will retain your personal information only for audit purposes as required by policies, only for a specific period, of which the submitted documents will then be destroyed as legislated in the National Archives Act. It is the applicant’s responsibility to have all their foreign qualifications (this includes O and A level certificates) evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), at your own expense. Upon appointment, successful candidates will be required to disclose particulars of all registrable financial interests and to sign a Performance Agreement within 3 months from date of appointment and for candidates whose appointment exceeds 12 calendar months will be appointed on probation for the period of twelve (12) calendar months excluding leave taken as prescribed by Public Service Regulation 68. The status of your application will be visible on the e-Recruitment system. However, if you have not received feedback from the National Treasury within 3 months of the closing date, please regard your application as unsuccessful. NOTE: The National Treasury reserves the right not to fill the below-mentioned posts, withdraw or to put on hold a position and/or to re-advertise a post.
  • All queries must be submitted via email addressed to the Human Resources Recruitment Support Team on Recruitment.Enquiries@treasury.gov.za.
  • Kindly note that all National Treasury adverts published/LIVE on the eRecruitment System have a closing date listed and closing time of 12h00 (MIDDAY) on that closing date.
