  2. Each application shall be submitted via the EUSPA e-recruitment tool.
  3. The Head of Department where the trainee will be allocated nominates the Department’s representatives to carry out the selection. The Department’s representatives perform the selection based on a detailed applications screening and establish a list. The most suitable candidates may be invited for a phone/video interview which may include other appropriate testing. Engagement for a traineeship will be decided by the Head of Administration based on a list of suitable candidates proposed by the evaluators. The established list may be used for other similar traineeships depending on the Agency’s needs.

  5. All candidates are notified about the outcome via email once the procedure is concluded.
