Which Documents Are Required for Application?
KPSS scores, diplomas, criminal record documents, military service status, and identity information will be obtained via e-Government web services from the relevant institutions, so candidates will not be required to upload these documents during the initial application.

Candidates whose graduation information does not automatically appear in the system must enter their graduation details manually and upload an approved copy of their diploma or graduation certificate in PDF format through e-Government.
Additionally, documents required for the chosen position—such as driver’s license, computer certificate or transcript, and bar license—must be uploaded as attachments during the application. It is essential that all submitted documents are accurate and complete. Applications with missing or incorrect information will not be considered. Only applications displaying the message “İşleminiz başarıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir…” on the Career Gate – Public Recruitment Platform will be evaluated. Candidates should verify that their application process has been completed successfully.
Application Results
Recruitment for contracted personnel at the General Directorate of Highways will be made without any written or oral examination. Candidates will be ranked based on their 2022 KPSS (B) group score in the relevant score type, starting with the highest-scoring candidates. The number of primary and an equal number of reserve candidates will be selected for each announced position. In case of equal scores, priority will be given to the candidate who graduated earlier; if graduation dates are also the same, the older candidate will be given priority.
The lists of selected primary and reserve candidates, along with the documents required from primary candidates, and the place and time to submit those documents will be published on the official website of the General Directorate of Highways (www.kgm.gov.tr) within fifteen (15) days following the application deadline. These announcements will serve as official notification, and no separate individual notifications will be sent. Security clearances will be conducted for candidates, and those who do not pass the security check will not be appointed.
