For the first time, municipal-level government departments in Beijing have openly selected 55 civil servants from their subordinate units in districts and towns - an indication that grassroots work experience is being increasingly valued.
In the past, such positions would often have been filled from outside by highly qualified graduates.
The selection process started in May, when 1,815 civil servants from district and township departments applied for 57 vacancies in 10 city-level departments.
Two vacancies, which required specific professional knowledge, were not filled because the right people could not be found.
However, the other 55 civil servants have been transferred to their new, more senior, positions, the Beijing Human Resource and Social Security Bureau said on Wednesday.
"It is a sign that the government is paying more attention to civil servants from the grassroots levels, which will attract more college graduates to work at that level," said Gao Meizhi, an official with the bureau.
According to the bureau, the civil servants recruitment process in Beijing this year required 80 percent of those employed to have two years of experience, effectively ruling out most recent graduates.
Starting next year, recent graduates will be entirely excluded from joining the civil service at the municipal-level but will still be able to apply for positions with villages and towns.
"Without the open selection, I could never have been transferred to a city-level department," said Xu Wenqiong, a 28-year-old civil servant.
Xu joined the Dongcheng district bureau of justice through the civil servant recruitment examination in 2007 and was promoted to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice in September.
"I hope it will be a long-term policy and I believe it will encourage grassroots civil servants to work harder," Xu added.
Zhang Ning, from the Beijing Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee, said civil servants, who have worked at the grassroots level, have a deeper understanding of their careers and can start work immediately, thanks to their previous work experience.
However, the changes are not good news for new graduates joining the harsh employment market.
"Maybe, I should cross civil servant off my job-hunting list," said Zhou Jinyu, who will graduate from Renmin University of China next year.
Zhou said even if it was still possible for new graduates to become civil servants, he would not be likely to choose such a career because of the low salary.
