Open competitions for permanent staff

If you pass the EPSO selection tests in an open competition, you may be placed on a reserve list.

If you are not successful in a recruitment process with an EU institution, you remain on the reserve list and may still be contacted again for other recruitment opportunities until the reserve list expires or is no longer valid.

Contract staff selection procedures

If you pass the EPSO tests for the contract staff selection procedure but are not successful at the recruitment stage, your EPSO test results remain valid for 10 years from the date they are published in your EPSO Account.

This means you may still be invited to other recruitment tests by the same or another recruiting service.
