This comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know about the Bauchi State recruitment portal — including how to use it, eligibility requirements, login procedures, tracking your application, and frequently asked questions.
What Is the Bauchi State Recruitment Portal?
The Bauchi State Recruitment Portal is the online gateway for submitting, tracking, and managing job applications for civil service positions and other state employment opportunities in Bauchi State. The portal is designed to simplify the recruitment process, improve transparency, and provide a centralised platform for job seekers.
The portal was developed by the Bauchi State Government (BASG) to handle applications for the ongoing recruitment exercise, which includes thousands of vacancies across various sectors and job functions.

Current Recruitment Status 2025/2026
The Bauchi State recruitment portal was active for the 2025 recruitment cycle, during which applications were accepted for a significant number of vacancies in the state civil service. Applicants could register, apply, and later log in to check their status, print screening slips, and follow up on subsequent stages of the process.
Application windows vary by exercise, and although the portal remains accessible for login and tracking, new applications may only be accepted once the state government announces the next cycle. Regularly check the official portal or state government announcements for updates.
