The interviews will be held at the Public Service Commission's (PSC) offices on Harambee Avenue in Nairobi.
The candidates will be interviewed behind closed doors and the interviews are expected to last all day, with each candidate expected to be quizzed for about one hour.
The six have been asked to get clearances from the Kenya Revenue Authority, the Ethics and Anti-Corruptions Commission (EACC) and Credit Reference Bureaus.
The post fell vacant after the resignation in August of Philip Kinisu, who bowed to public pressure to quit after a firm associated with his family was cited in theft of nearly Sh800 million from the National Youth Service.
