As job opportunities arise, the institutions check the profiles of the successful candidates in the 'reserve list' to identify those who best match their needs (for example, in terms of education, professional experience and language skills).

The institutions may also choose to publish available vacancies to successful candidates of relevant selection procedures via their EPSO account.

The publication of vacancies in your EPSO account is the responsibility of the EU institutions. They decide which vacancies to open to which reserve list(s). 

According to the Staff Regulations, officials already working within the institutions must be considered before successful candidates on a reserve list.

The number of staff employed by the EU institutions is proportional to their size and functions.
