Fukuoka Prefecture will implement early recruitment exams starting next year to compete with private companies for talent. With civil service exam applicants declining by about 30% in the past decade, the prefecture aims to announce results in late May, ahead of most private sector job offers, typically made in early June. In addition to traditional exams, the prefecture plans to adjust its tests to focus more on logical thinking and introduce new recruitment for technical roles such as civil engineering and agriculture.
