How does your country find and recruit ATC's?

Hello,

I am a controller from Australia, finishing a Uni course, and I am specifically looking at how different countries attract and recruit ATC.
It would be really appreciated if people could give me a precis on what there country does to advertise and attraction, then recruit potential controllers.

Here is an example of what I am looking for:

Country: Australia
Advertisement: No financial outlay, some social media e.g Twitter
Attraction: Limited Career expos and some work experience
Applications: Open continuously
Recruitment: Online application only. Online qualifying testing. One day assessment centre.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Country: USA

Applications: Open whenever it is that they open. Currently closed as they're still processing the last batch.

Attraction: It seems they prefer if you have 0 knowledge of aviation, and/or experience. If you can flip burgers at a McDonalds then you're qualified.

Recruitment: Online application only. Online qualifying testing. One time biographical questionnaire assessment, which only the least qualified can pass.

Countries: Serbia/, Montenegro
Advertisement: Supposedly ANSP's web site and some newspaper advertising(the types that only come out on the 31st February).
Attraction: Something like 10-15X the average national income.
Applications: Knowing/having friends, lovers, cousins, godfathers/mothers, etc, in the business already.
Recruitment: See above and disregard what's supposedly claimed about fair, EUROCONTROL-run applications...even people deep within the ANSP will say that

Spain

No recruitment since 2006.

There's only private training, and of course sponsoring yourself. But no job at the end of it.

We have no idea of what AENA is thinking about, great management !
