Public employment and ethics · France and Switzerland : separate country-labelled rules
Public recruitment refused: identify the legal route
A rejected public-recruitment candidate should identify the employer, selection framework and actual complaint. A French concours is different from Swiss federal recruitment. Ordinary rejected federal applicants cannot simply demand an appealable decision under the federal personnel rule; sex-discriminatory hiring refusal has a specific statutory route. The evidence file does not promise appointment, general merits review or identical procedures for Swiss cantons.
