Hong Kong's civil service chief has defended the decision to open external recruitment for the director of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, aiming to attract experts in technology for law enforcement innovations. Secretary Ingrid Yeung Ho Poi-yan stressed that external hires would have no path to the permanent secretary role, reserved for administrative officers. The approach represents a departure from the traditional promotion of career administrative officers to such positions.

Hong Kong authorities have launched an unprecedented open recruitment for director positions in the Information Services Department and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, both requiring ‘strong political acumen’. The posts will report to the permanent secretaries for home and youth affairs, and environment and ecology (food) respectively. The government posted the job advertisements on its website on Wednesday.
