​Centralized Services e-Recruitment Portal (C-SERP) 2025/26

The Centralized Services e-Recruitment Portal (C-SERP) has been introduced as part of a national effort toward streamlining recruitment into Ghana’s internal security agencies. For the 2025/26 recruitment cycle, the Ministry has outlined a fully digitized, transparent, and harmonized process designed to enhance efficiency, fairness, and accountability across all participating agencies.

What is C-SERP and Why Was It Introduced?

C-SERP—short for the Centralized Services e-Recruitment Portal—is a unified online system developed to standardize recruitment procedures across the various internal security agencies in Ghana.

The platform supports:

• Harmonisation of recruitment standards and procedures across all agencies
• Data sharing and coordination, enabling better oversight by the Ministry
• Transparent and fair job allocation across all regions
• Efficient processing and verification of applicant information

Additionally, C-SERP aligns with the President’s broader policy objective of promoting equitable access to job opportunities nationwide through a centrally managed and merit-based platform.

Application Timelines (2025/26)

Applicants must take note of the official application window:

• Start of Voucher Sales: Monday, 17th November 2025
• Start of Online Applications: Monday, 17th November 2025 at 12:00 noon
