Are you looking to secure an EU role this autumn without waiting in the prolonged EPSO competition pipeline?
💼 EU decentralised agencies, joint undertakings, and European Commission services recruit directly through their own selection procedures, offering direct pathways into the EU civil service.
📢 This week’s spotlight covers 14 vacancies across Frankfurt 🇩🇪, Dublin 🇮🇪, Florence 🇮🇹, Valletta 🇲🇹, Brussels 🇧🇪, The Hague 🇳🇱, Warsaw 🇵🇱, Athens 🇬🇷, and Valenciennes 🇫🇷.
📈 Profiles range from FG III and FG IV contract agents to AST 1–3 assistants and AD 5 through AD 10 administrator positions, including posts at Frontex, EUAA, Europol, EIOPA, AMLA, ENISA, ERA, and EUROFOUND. Many of these selections offer indefinite contract potential.
📌 Application Tip: Selection boards score applicants against the formal “Selection Criteria” listed in the vacancy notice. Align each bullet in your CV and motivation statement directly with those explicit requirements to maximize your pre-selection score for written assessments and interviews.
💰 We have calculated estimated monthly take-home pay across four personal scenarios (single local, local with two children, single expatriate, and expatriate with two children), adjusted by each duty station’s correction coefficient.
🤔 Which duty station would you choose if you were relocating this autumn? Share your choice in a comment!
