Trialacha EPSO

multiple choice tests

I gcomórtais nó i bpróisis roghnúcháin EPSO bíonn sraith trialacha dírithe ar inniúlachtaí ginearálta agus sonracha a mheas. 

Is é an fógra comórtais an t-aon doiciméad oifigiúil amháin ina mbíonn eolas mionsonraithe faoi na trialacha a mbaineann EPSO úsáid astu i gcomórtas ar leith.
Foilsítear gach fógra in Iris Oifigiúil an Aontais Eorpaigh.

Ar an leathanach seo tá roinnt samplaí de thrialacha a d’fhéadfadh EPSO a úsáid ina chuid comórtas arb é is aidhm dóibh iarrthóirí ionchasacha a chur ar an eolas faoina struchtúr agus faoina n-ábhar, agus é sin amháin. Ní hé cuspóir an leathanaigh seo oiliúint a chur ar iarrthóirí chun pas a fháil sna trialacha roghnúcháin. Tá an méid sin lasmuigh de shainordú EPSO.

Dá mba mhian leat tuilleadh eolais a fháil faoi phróisis roghnúcháin EPSO, is féidir leat breathnú freisin ar an leathanach Trialacha EPSO: Míthuiscintí agus fíricí.

Ina theannta sin, iarraimid ort creat inniúlachtaí ginearálta EPSO a léamh chun tuilleadh eolais a fháil faoi na hinniúlachtaí a mheasann na hinstitiúidí agus na comhlachtaí den Aontas Eorpach ar a bhfreastalaíonn EPSO a bheith riachtanach chun feidhmiú go héifeachtach in aon phost ar leith. Is é EPSO a dhéanann measúnú ar chuid de na hinniúlachtaí sin le linn chéim an roghnúcháin, agus is iad na hinstitiúidí agus na comhlachtaí den Aontas Eorpach a dhéanann measúnú ar an gcuid eile le linn chéim na hearcaíochta. 

 

TRIALACHA EPSO – SAMHAIL NUA CHOMÓRTAIS (AMHAIL Ó 2023)
TRIALACHA EPSO – An tSAMHAIL CHOMÓRTAIS A BHÍ ANN ROIMHE (GO DTÍ 2022)

Main steps

  • Eligibility - evaluation of eligibility criteria and minimum requirements is done by the Selection Board.
  • Talent screener- only used for specialist competitions. In their application form, candidates are asked to list all their professional skills, experience and qualifications, which will then be assessed by the Selection Board.
  • Computer based multiple-choice tests - verbal, numerical, abstract reasoning tests and, for certain specialist competitions, tests on field-related competencies. All tests are remotely proctored. 
  • Assessment centre phase - the final stage for the testing of general and field-related competencies under EPSO’s former competition model (published until the end of 2022). Through various tests, Selection Board members evaluate skills such as analysis and problem-solving, communicating, prioritising and organising, delivering quality and results, and others. The Assessment Centre tests are organised in an online format (remote) and the tests usually take place on different dates.

Competency test for each profile

Currently, EPSO is responsible only for organising the reasoning skills tests, but not for the competency tests. The recruiting services of the EU institutions have adapted the selection procedure of Contract Agents accordingly, and keep their relevant services informed of the applicable procedure.
