HOW WILL I BE SELECTED?

1)   
  Application process

You must fill in your application form in the language you have chosen as your language 2 (see section ‘Specific conditions — languages’).

When completing your application form, you will be asked to confirm your eligibility for the competition and provide further information
  relevant to the profile of the competition
  (for example: diplomas, work experience and answers to field-specific questions (Talent Screener)). You will also have to select your language 1 (any of the 24 official EU languages) and your language 2 (English, French or German).

By validating your application form you declare on your honour that you meet all the conditions mentioned under the section ‘Am I eligible to apply?’ Once you have validated your application form, you will no longer be able to make any changes. It is your responsibility to ensure that you complete and validate your application
  within the deadline.

2)   
  Computer-based multiple-choice question (MCQ) tests

If the number of candidates
  exceeds a certain threshold
  , as defined for
  each competition and profile
  by the director of EPSO acting as Appointing Authority, all candidates who validated their application form by the deadline will be invited to sit a series of computer-based MCQ tests in one of EPSO’s accredited centres.

Unless instructed otherwise,
  you must book
  an appointment for the MCQ tests following the instructions received from EPSO. Typically you will be offered several dates on which you can sit the tests, in various locations. The booking and testing periods
  are limited.

If the number of candidates
  is below the threshold
  , these tests will be held at the assessment centre (point 5) instead.

The computer-based MCQ tests will be organised as follows:

| Tests | Language | Questions | Duration | Marking | Pass mark |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Verbal reasoning | Language 1 | 20 questions | 35 min | Out of 20 | 10/20 |
| Numerical reasoning | Language 1 | 10 questions | 20 min | Out of 10 | Numerical + abstract combined: 10/20 |
| Abstract reasoning | Language 1 | 10 questions | 10 min | Out of 10 |

3)   
  Eligibility checks

The eligibility requirements laid down in the section ‘Am I eligible to apply?’ above will be checked against the data provided in candidates’ online applications. EPSO will check whether you meet the general eligibility conditions while the selection board will check compliance with the specific eligibility conditions.

There are two possible scenarios:

| — | If the computer-based MCQ tests
  are organised upfront,
  the files of the candidates who reached all pass marks will be checked for eligibility in descending order of the marks obtained in those tests until the number of eligible candidates reaches a certain threshold for each competition and profile defined before the tests by the director of EPSO acting as Appointing Authority. The other files will not be checked. |

If the computer-based MCQ tests
  are not organised upfront
  , the files of all candidates who validated their application form by the deadline will be checked for eligibility.

4)   
  Selection based on qualifications (Talent Screener)

In order to allow the selection board to carry out an objective assessment of the comparative merits of all candidates in a structured way, all candidates in the same competition and profile must answer the same set of questions in the ‘Talent Screener’ section of the application form. The selection based on qualifications will be carried out,
  only for those candidates deemed eligible
  as described above in point 3, using
  solely
  the information provided in this Talent Screener section. You should therefore include all relevant information in your Talent Screener answers, even if already mentioned in other sections of your application form. The questions are based on the selection criteria included in this notice. Please see ANNEX II for the list of criteria.

To carry out the selection based on qualifications, the selection board will first assign each
  selection criterion
  a weighting that reflects its relative importance (1 to 3) and each of the candidate’s responses will be awarded between 0 and 4 points. The points are multiplied by the weighting for each criterion and added up to identify those candidates whose profiles best match the duties to be performed.

Only the candidates with the highest total marks at the selection based on qualifications will go through to the next stage.

5)   
  Assessment centre

A maximum of three times
  the number of successful candidates sought for each competition and profile will be invited to this phase. If you meet the eligibility requirements according to the data in your online application and if you scored one of the
  highest total marks
  for the selection based on qualifications, you will be invited to attend an assessment centre for 1 or 2 days, most probably in
  Brussels
  , where you will take tests held in your
  language 2
  .

If the computer-based MCQ tests described in point 2 were
  not organised upfront
  , you will sit them at the assessment centre. These tests are eliminatory and the marks obtained will not be added to the marks of the other assessment centre tests in the calculation of your total score.

Unless instructed otherwise, you will have to bring your supporting documents (originals or certified copies) to your assessment centre. EPSO will scan these during your assessment centre tests and return them to you on the same day.

Seven general competencies for the AST competition and eight general competencies for the AD competition, as well as the specific competencies required for each competition and profile, will be tested at the assessment centre through
  four tests
  (general and specific competency-based interviews, group exercise and case study) as described in the following matrices:

6)   
  Reserve list

After checking candidates’ eligibility against their supporting documents, the selection board will draw up a reserve list for each competition and profile — until the number of successful candidates sought is reached — of those eligible candidates who have obtained all pass marks as well as the highest overall marks following the assessment centre. Names will be listed alphabetically.

The reserve lists and the competency passports, giving qualitative feedback from the selection board, of successful candidates will be made available to the EU institutions for recruitment procedures and future career development. Inclusion on a reserve list
  does not confer any right to or guarantee of
  recruitment.

2.   BY WHOM WILL I BE ASSESSED?

A selection board is appointed to compare candidates and select the best ones on the basis of their competencies, aptitudes and qualifications in the light of the requirements set out in this notice of competition. Its members also decide on the difficulty of the competition tests and approve their content on the basis of proposals made by EPSO.

To ensure the selection board’s independence, it is strictly forbidden for candidates or anyone outside the board to attempt to contact any of its members, except in the context of tests which require direct interaction between the candidates and the board.

Candidates who wish to state their case or assert their rights must do so in writing, addressing their correspondence intended for a selection board to EPSO, which will pass it on to the board. Any direct or indirect intervention by candidates that does not comply with these procedures is forbidden and may result in disqualification from the competition.

The existence of a family relationship or a hierarchical link between a candidate and a selection board member, in particular, gives rise to a conflict of interest. Selection boards are asked to declare any such situations to EPSO immediately when they become aware of them. EPSO will evaluate each case individually and take the appropriate measures. The non-respect of the abovementioned rules could make selection board members liable to disciplinary action and result in disqualification from the competition for candidates (see Section 4.4).

The names of the selection board members are published on the EPSO website (www.eu-careers.eu) before the beginning of the assessment centre/phase.

3.   COMMUNICATION

3.1.   Communication with EPSO

EPSO reserves the right not to supply information that is already clearly stated in this notice of competition, its annexes or on the EPSO website, including under ‘frequently asked questions’.

In all correspondence relating to an application, please mention your name as given in your EPSO account, your application number and the reference number of the selection procedure.

EPSO applies the principles of the code of good administrative behaviour https://ec.europa.eu/info/about-european-union/principles-and-values/ethics-and-integrity/code-conduct-eu-staff_en (as published in the Official Journal). Accordingly, EPSO reserves the right to cease any improper (i.e. repetitive, abusive and/or irrelevant) correspondence.

3.2.   Access to information

Candidates have specific rights of access to certain information concerning them individually, granted in the light of the obligation to state reasons, in order to allow for an appeal against rejection decisions.

This obligation to state reasons must be balanced with the confidentiality of the selection board proceedings, which ensures the boards’ independence and the objectivity of the selection. Due to confidentiality, attitudes adopted by members of selection boards regarding the individual or comparative assessments of candidates cannot be disclosed.

These access rights are specific to candidates in an open competition and legislation on public access to documents may not confer on them rights broader than those specified in this section.

3.2.1.   Automatic disclosure

You will automatically receive the following information via your EPSO account after each stage of the selection process organised for a given competition:

| — | MCQ tests: your results and a grid with your answers and the correct answers by reference number/letter. Access to the text of the questions and answers is explicitly excluded, |

Your corrected answer papers and the details of the marking, in particular, are covered by the secrecy of selection board proceedings and will not be disclosed.

EPSO endeavours to make as much information available to candidates as possible, in accordance with the obligation to state reasons, the confidential nature of selection board proceedings and the rules on the protection of personal data. All requests for information will be evaluated in light of these obligations.

Any requests for information should be submitted via the ‘contact us’ section of the EPSO website (www.eu-careers.eu) within 10 calendar days of the day your results were published in your EPSO account.

4.2.   Internal review procedures

4.2.1.   Error in the computer-based multiple choice questions (MCQs)

The MCQ database is subject to permanent in-depth quality control by EPSO and selection boards.

If you believe that an error in one or more of the MCQs affected your ability to answer, you are entitled to ask for the question(s) to be reviewed by the selection board (under the ‘neutralisation’ procedure).

Under this procedure, the selection board may decide to cancel the question containing the error and to redistribute the points among the remaining questions of the test. Only those candidates who received that question will be affected by the recalculation. The marking of the tests remains as indicated in the relevant sections of this notice of competition.

Arrangements for complaints about the MCQ tests are as follows:

| — | procedure: please contact EPSO (see Section 3.1) only via the online contact form, |
| --- | --- |

Requests received after the deadline or that do not clearly describe the contested question(s) and alleged error will not be taken into account.

In particular, complaints merely pointing out alleged issues of translation, and which do not clearly specify the problem, will not be taken into account.

4.2.2.   Requests for review

You can request a review of any decision taken by the selection board or EPSO that establishes your results and/or determines whether you can proceed to the next stage of the competition or are excluded.

Requests for review may be based on:

| --- | --- |

—

non-compliance, by the selection board or EPSO, with the Staff Regulations, the notice of competition, its annexes and/or case-law.

Please note that you are not allowed to challenge the validity of the selection board’s assessment of the quality of your performance in a test or the relevance of your qualifications and professional experience. This assessment is a value judgment made by the board and your disagreement with the board’s evaluation of your tests, experience and/or qualifications does not prove that it has made an error. Requests for review submitted on this basis will not lead to a positive outcome.

Arrangements for requests for review are as follows:
