Our selection process

Before deciding on your position, we will determine in a selection procedure whether your knowledge and personality make you suitable for study and subsequent tasks. The selection is made using a two-step procedure:

First stage

• The first stage consists of an online test. In this aptitude and language test, you will show us your reasoning skills and powers of concentration. Your proficiency in numeracy, spelling, English and other fields of knowledge will also be assessed.

Second stage 

• The second stage provides the Directorate General Human Resources with an opportunity to get to know you better and consists of the following elements.
• An oral test comprising a group activity and an individual presentation in the form of a structured interview with a presentation. Both provide us with an opportunity to get to know you. At the same time, you will demonstrate both your ability to organise and plan as well as your social and communication skills.
• In a written assignment, you will prove that you have the ability to deal with a specific situation or topic, paying proper attention to all technical aspects and working in a structured manner. You will have the opportunity to show that you are adept at spelling and using punctuation, and that you are able to express yourself well.
• The results of the online test will be confirmed during this second stage which deals with the same aptitude features as described above.
