What does 稀な公募 mean?


I am translating a personal statement and when talking about his work
experience, the writer has stated
私は、役所の人事としては稀な公募によって、広く民間企業からの採用を行うこととした。しかし、同時に、公募を行うと、採用実績のない民間企業から採用する可能性もあり、能力の低い職員を採用してしまう危険性もあった。

Is it saying that 'he implemented a system by which people from the wider
private sector are recruited in selective public recruitment'. Does this mean
the job is advertised widely?

Also I don't understand 採用実績のない民間企業. How can a company have no record of
hiring people?

Please help!




There seems to be a parsing issue here.

It is not 「（稀{まれ}な公募{こうぼ}）によって」.

It is 「役所{やくしょ}の人事{じんじ}としては稀な（、）『公募』によって」.

≒ 「『公募』という方法{ほうほう}によって」

> Does this mean the job is advertised widely?

At least "publicly" so, if not so "widely". How widely, we could not tell from
this passage alone.

The speaker utilized a method that was 稀な ("rare, uncommon") for the city hall
to recruit.

> Also I don't understand 採用実績{さいようじっせき}のない民間企業{みんかんきぎょう}. How can a company
> have no record of hiring people?

Again, a parsing error.

It means " **the private companies from which the city hall has never
recruited people** ". It is saying (or implying) that if you advertize the
position openings too widely, you might end up hiring untalented people.
