Operating principles

Three key principles guide EPSO’s future actions in seeking to achieve our vision:

• Precision: EPSO strives to adopt the best selection methods, by testing the right competences with the right tests. The aim is to target the most suitable candidates and evaluate their performance according to international best practices.
• Agility: EPSO’s processes are increasingly modular and adaptable to specific client demands. Their feedback and regular internal reviews are an integral part of this approach.
• Speed: The duration of EPSO’s competitions is getting shorter. This is achieved by anticipating and strengthening the work of selection boards and staff, enhancing cooperation with client institutions and streamlining selection processes, stripping them of unnecessary bureaucratic elements.
