A primary function of the Jersey Appointments Commission in overseeing the recruitment of States employees, as well as appointees to States-supported or related bodies, is to ensure that the selection is fair, efficient and conducted in accordance with best practice and procedures.

- key principles
- scope
- responsibilities
- confidentiality
- conflicts of interest
- use of recruitment agencies / consultancies
- accounting for recruitment decisions
- complaints
- appointment processes that are not compliant
- interpretation of key principles
- exceptions
- audit
- members of the commission
The commission has been in existence since 2002 and has a Chairman and 4 other Commissioners.
