EPSO is an abbreviation for the ‘European Personnel Selection Office’. EPSO is an entity of the European Commission responsible for recruitment of candidates for jobs in a number of EU institutions. EPSO’s recruitment procedures are also known as ‘EU Concours’.
On average EPSO processes around 46,000 applications a year for approximately 1,300 vacancies in the EU institutions. Most persons who successfully pass EPSO selection processes do not get jobs in EU institutions but are placed on the so-called ‘reserve lists’ and remain there until validity of lists expires.
EPSO manages hiring procedures for the following EU institutions:
- European Parliament
- Council of the European Union
- European Commission
- Court of Justice of the European Union
- European Court of Auditors
- European Economic and Social Committee
- Committee of the Regions
- European External Action Service
- European Ombudsman
- European Data Protection Supervisor
The EU agencies may and often do run their own selection procedures, but can also draw from successful candidates placed on EPSO’s ‘reserve lists’.
