Igas valikumenetluses on oma valikukomisjon, kes valib konkursiteates kindlaks määratud kvalifikatsiooni ja oskuste alusel välja parimad kandidaadid. Valikukomisjon koosneb ELi institutsioonide ametnikest. EPSO teeb kõik endast oleneva, et sugude, keelteoskuse, töötajate ja juhtkonna tasandi esindajate ning institutsioonide suuruse suhe oleks valikukomisjonis tasakaalus. Valikukomisjoni tööd juhib esimees, keda abistab üks või mitu aseesimeest. Valikumenetluse käigus kandidaatide hindamisega seotud ülesannete suhtes kehtib valikukomisjoni menetluste konfidentsiaalsus.

EPSO peab võrdõiguslikkust väga tähtsaks ja teeb kõik endast oleneva, et tagada kõigile kandidaatidele võrdsed võimalused ning võrdne kohtlemine ja juurdepääs.

• Valimiskomisjoni tööd suunav üldpõhimõte on erapooletuse põhimõte. Näiteks ei tohi valikukomisjoni liikme ja hinnatava kandidaadi vahel olla otsest hierarhilist ega perekondlikku suhet. Siiski ei välista minevikus või isegi praegu eksisteeriv kaugem töösuhe iseenesest automaatselt komisjoniliikme võimalust kandidaati hinnata.
• Nii valikukomisjoni liikmed kui ka kandidaadid peavad EPSO-le teatama mis tahes võimalikust huvide konfliktist, et seda saaks arvesse võtta ja teha vajaduse korral vastavaid kohandusi.
• Valikukomisjon järgib konkursiteates eelnevalt kindlaks määratud osalemistingimuste täitmise, valiku- ja hindamiskriteeriume. Need kriteeriumid dokumenteeritakse ja kiidetakse heaks ning neid kohaldatakse hoolikalt ja järjepidevalt.
• Juhatuse liikmete põhjalik koolitamine, juhendamine ja järelevalve ning korrapärased selleteemalised koosolekud tagavad ühtlustatud hindamise.

EPSO teeb süstemaatilisi kvaliteedikontrolle ja statistilisi analüüse, et avastada kandidaatide hindamisel võimalikku erapoolikust ja see välistada.

All EPSO tests, and how they are scored, are closely analysed in order to ensure that they are fair and do not impact adversely on particular groups of candidates. EPSO is in the process of becoming compliant with the brand new ISO Standard for Assessment Procedures and is already in line with the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities.

A key aspect of fairness is gender balance and EPSO strives to attract and select a balanced pool of male and female applicants. In practice, men and women apply in disproportionate numbers for some profiles. In general, however, applications are balanced, and the most recent AD Generalist competition produced 50% male and 50% female successful candidates.

Objective evaluation criteria are adopted prior to the selection, in accordance with the competition notice, and are rigorously applied to all candidates in order to ensure equal treatment.

Accessibility is very important to EPSO. We continually work to improve the accessibility of our communication and selection procedures.

EPSO places great importance on equality, diversity and inclusion, and makes every effort to respect equal opportunities, equal treatment and equal access for all its applicants.

If you feel that you have been treated in an unfair or discriminatory way, due to one or more of the following characteristics: sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation, please contact us straight away to share your observations and feelings.

We pay a lot of attention to feedback from applicants, who are at the heart of our policies and practices on equality, diversity and inclusion management. For more information on how we put these policies into practice, please see our webpage dedicated to equal opportunities.

Palun pange tähele, et andmete konfidentsiaalsuse ja mittediskrimineerimise põhimõtteid järgides ei edasta EPSO tööle võtvatele osakondadele vähimatki teavet teie puude ja erivajaduste kohta.

Kui teil on puue või terviseprobleem, mis nõuab teatavaid kohandusi, või konkreetsed erivajadused, peate nendest tööandjat ise vahetult pärast töölevõtmist teavitama.

Kui soovite saada teavet selle kohta, millised tööandjad on puuetega inimeste suhtes võtnud toetavaid meetmeid, peate märkima vastava lahtri oma EPSO kasutajakontol. Tööle võtvatele osakondadele edastatakse ainult teie nimi ja e-posti aadress.

If you are pregnant during the selection procedure registration period, you can submit your questions, problems or requests for adjustments in your application form, together with a medical certificate confirming your pregnancy and your due delivery date.

If you find out that you are pregnant or you give birth during the selection procedure period, please contact us as soon as possible, providing the same information and sending a medical certificate confirming the expected or actual delivery date.

We will inform you of the possible options after examining your request.

If you require adjustments to the selection tests as a result of a disability or medical condition, all you need to do is follow the procedure set out on our equal opportunities page in order to submit your request for adjustments. You will also find the different types of possible adjustments.

Please note that in order to benefit from reasonable adjustments to the selection tests, you will have to produce a certificate confirming your disability or medical condition issued by a competent national organisation and/or a specialist.

When different written tests are used in the same competition (e.g. translation tests) these tests are chosen so that they have a similar level of difficulty.
