The study aimed at examining the reality of recruitment and selection policies at the administrative positions in the ministries of the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip. The research used analytical descriptive method. The research population consisted of 3363 employees from different managerial positions. The research used a stratified random sample. It consisted of 500 employees from different ministries. The study concluded that most of the limitations that face the ministries in
the process of selection and recruitment are due to many reasons including, they do not follow effective selection and recruitment policies based on objective and scientific criteria. The study also showed that several non objective factors (political, tribal and personal) hinder the process of selection and recruitment. At the end, the researchers came up with some recommendations that may make the process of selection and recruitment more effective and create a breakthrough in that process. Some of these recommendations are to create a suitable environment based on scientific criteria for the process of selection and recruitment, develop the role of human resource management and considering it as a system, which consists of different parts which affect each other, moreover, issue suitable law for organizing the process of selection and recruitment for administrative positions in the ministries.
