In the early days it is true that some people who entered state-owned enterprises used "relationships" to acquire their job or were hired by the company's personnel office, but the vast majority of employees today have passed national examinations (examinations for finance, post and telecommunications and transport personnel conducted by the Examination Yuan) or the civil service examinations.
