Abstract: 
Corruption in recruitment refers to hiring relatives or close friends, regardless of their merits and abilities. It is a permanent risk for the development of the organization, society and individuals itself. The aim of this study is to investigate some aspects of corrupt hiring in Iraq, as well as the forms of corrupt hiring in all public and non-public sectors. Based on the findings, the result of the research shows that in Iraq, not only the recruitment in public and private sectors are implicated with corruption, but even attaining jobs at UN department and NGOs are deeply characterized by corruption and preferential treatment.
