Abstract: Graduates are the main source of meteorological departments, and public recruitment in meteorological departments is mainly for fresh graduates. This paper summarizes the characteristics and shortcomings of the recruitment work in meteorological departments. The relevant data were collected based on the investigation and analysis of the recruitment work carried out by institutions directly under the meteorological departments, and provincial and municipal meteorological departments. We expect that this study provides valuable reference for meteorological departments at all levels to carry out targeted recruitment and improve the efficiency and quality of recruitment work.
