The Competency Framework defines the competencies that are considered essential to perform effectively in any given job within the EU institutions and bodies that EPSO serves.

Some of these competencies are assessed by EPSO during the selection phase, while others are assessed by the EU institutions and bodies themselves during the recruitment phase.

For more specialised profiles, the EU institutions look for candidates who are highly qualified in their field of expertise.

Information on field-related competencies, as well as on the tests assessing both general and field-related competencies, can always be found in the Notice of Competition.

Please consult the general competencies and their respective anchors (“anchors” are the elements taken into consideration when assessing a given competency).
