Testing

The selection process includes online reasoning tests, as well as tests on EU knowledge, digital skills and a free-text essay on EU matters.
Full details are available in the Notice of Competition.

Candidates may choose any two of the 24 official EU languages for testing.

Once on a reserve list, successful candidates may be contacted by the recruiting services of the EU institutions and bodies interested in their profile, for targeted recruitment interviews. Such interviews, and any other related procedures, are outside the selection process conducted by EPSO. Recruitment interviews are conducted by the relevant recruiting services usually in English and/or French. Other languages may also be used during the interviews, based on the needs of the recruiting services and the knowledge expressed by candidates in their applications.
