For job seekers, the key takeaway is a planned simplification of recruitment and selection procedures, with concrete changes expected by mid-2026 that could make applying to EU roles less complex and more transparent.

A word from our team

🚽 Traveling to Brussels for a medical before recruitment? Beware, Brussels was recently dubbed Europe’s city with the dirtiest public toilets, highlighting ongoing cleanliness issues that affect everyday life and the city’s reputation. The news reflects bigger questions about how well public services are managed in the Belgian capital, which can be an eye-opener if you’re considering living or working here. 😲 

✍️ 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.
