Hajj Pilgrimage Staff Selection Begins for First Wave (Non-Medical)

The Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenhaj) has initiated the selection process for officers who will support the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage. The first wave of selection for non-medical officers is currently underway at the National Civil Service Agency (BKN). This selection process is essential for the smooth and safe operation of the Hajj pilgrimage, which involves millions of participants annually. Selected officers will be responsible for a wide range of duties, including guiding pilgrims, managing logistics, and providing administrative support. Non-medical officers, in particular, play a crucial role in supporting the daily lives of the pilgrims. Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, and the Hajj pilgrimage is a significant religious obligation for many citizens, often a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Consequently, the government places a strong emphasis on the quality and efficiency of its officers to enhance the pilgrimage experience. The selection criteria and specific procedures are expected to be implemented fairly and transparently, based on the standards set by the National Civil Service Agency.
