Summary/Abstract: The article deals with regulations concerning the recruitment procedure which precedes employment of officers of uniformed services. The legislator did not decide to introduce a uniform model of recruitment procedure for all uniformed services, which is justified given specific tasks performed by particular services. Regardless of the justified differences between recruitment procedure concerning various uniformed services, a substantial similarity may be shown, namely that all of them are associated with the right of access to the public service, laid down in Article 60 of the Polish Constitution of 2 April 1997. The rationale for such considerations is justified by the significance of the problem, but also by the fact that regulations governing the recruitment procedure are marginalised by law scientists. The purpose of the study is to resolve the doubts concerning the legal nature of the recruitment procedure and the activities taken in its course as well as to assess the provisions governing the recruitment procedure in the context of the right of access to the public service and the formal guarantees of that right.
