This research aims to examine the human resource management (HR) process in the village government, focusing on the mechanism of recruitment and development of apparatus. The background of this study departs from the importance of the quality of village apparatus in supporting the effectiveness of public services and the implementation of village development. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of the study show that the recruitment process in most villages still faces obstacles, including limited resources for prospective apparatus, lack of transparent selection procedures, and the influence of non-technical factors in determining candidates. In the development aspect, it was found that the training and capacity building program of village apparatus has not been carried out in a planned and sustainable manner, so that the technical and managerial competence of the apparatus has not been optimal. This study recommends the need for the preparation of clear and objective recruitment standards, as well as the planning of human resource development programs based on village needs. Thus, it is hoped that the village government can have a professional apparatus with integrity, and be able to adapt to the increasingly complex demands of public services.
