O processo administrativo do concurso público

Abstract

This work intends to study, in an administrative procedural point of view, Brazilian public selection institute. Initially, a historical approach of the theme was performed, in order to enumerate the manpower selection instruments employed by Administration along the centuries, focusing on the various Brazilian constitutional systems. Then, by means of a mainly principled approach, the study of the institute according to the rules established by the current judicial order was realized. Following this, the rite adopted by the administrator when organizing a public selection, according to the preceding study of principles and rules established in the Constitution and by law, was addressed, featuring the jurisprudential positioning and administrative and judicial control methods applied to the theme. The next step was to verify if the present set of rules is adequate to promote the desired regulation of public selections. Along the work it was possible to conclude that public selections present judicial nature of a administrative process, thus being applicable the respective law; however, this is not enough to ensure the necessary regulation of the subject, so that the absence of a national law of public selections, as demonstrated by diverse situations, is cause of judicial insecurity for candidates, disobedience to constitutional principles and violation of the main objective of its execution, that is, the selection of the best trained candidates for the exercise of public service.
