Examination and selection

Last Updated November 15, 2024

Major changes in fiscal 2024

We will expand the recruitment test that is easy for those who want to be a private company to take!

In Yokohama City, the importance of human resources who have a proactive stance and can respond to diversifying and complex administrative needs is increasing year by year toward the realization of “Yokohama, a city that opens tomorrow”. Based on this background and the situation in which competition for human resource acquisition among the national government, other local governments, private companies, etc. is becoming increasingly severe, we will review the recruitment test in FY2024.

[Points of Change]

 〇 Expansion of SPI test
  Expand the number of exams that use only the aptitude test (SPI3) (SPI) for primary exam subjects.
 〇 Added exams for technical positions
  Regarding the technical occupation test to be conducted in the spring, a new adult recruitment test will be conducted with the primary test only as SPI.
 〇 Partial abolition of education and thesis
  Except for some examination categories, "education" and "thesis" of written examination subjects will be abolished for recruitment examinations such as university graduation degree.

※ In addition to the above, there are other changes related to the examination and selection. For details, please refer to the following PDF file “Click here for detailed changes”.
 Please check it.

※ Details of each examination will be announced in the examination guide sequentially at the start of the application.
