This week’s spotlight

The latest EPSO AD5 competition has shattered all records with over 174,900 applicants — but the headline figure masks a striking imbalance: nearly half of all applications came from Italy alone, a pattern that will surprise no one who has spent time inside the EU institutions. This week's article explores why certain nationalities consistently dominate the EU civil service landscape and how the "local national effect" quietly shapes hiring in decentralised agencies across Europe. If you've ever wondered why the corridors of some EU bodies feel more like one country than twenty-seven, this is a must-read — click here to read the full article.

A word from our team

🤩 We are always trying to think of ways to make it easier for talented individuals to join the EU civil service. Over the years, we wrote 90 articles and there is a wealth of information that we’ve shared. However, it can be difficult to find exactly what you’re looking for. For this reason, we reworked the issue with the chatbot. You can now access it via - www.nexteujob.com/chatbot. The freemium version of this service only supports a finite number of queries per month. For this reason, you will have to use a password to access the site. Don’t worry, the password is “nexteujob”, so it should be easy enough to remember 😉 

📰If there is a publicly documented issue you would like us to highlight to all our readers, we’d be grateful for your tip. Simply reply to this email.

The following EU vacancies will close in the coming week
