Important things to remember
- No acknowledgment emails will be sent because the Treasury expects many applications. If you haven’t heard back after three months, assume the position was filled by another candidate.
- All documents must be signed, up‑to‑date, and complete. Missing paperwork means your file will be ignored.
- Shortlisted candidates will be asked to bring certified copies of their qualifications, ID, and any foreign certificates (these need a SAQA evaluation).
- The Treasury will run background checks that cover criminal records, credit history, citizenship status, and verification of your qualifications and work experience. A positive security clearance is required before any contract can be signed.
- If you are a current SAPS (SMS) employee, you will also need to pass a competency assessment set by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA). All shortlisted applicants will take two pre‑entry tests: a practical exercise and an integrity/ethical‑conduct assessment.
