To cope with an expanded remit, the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) will significantly increase the number of hires made outside the competitive process. To do so, the Authority has organised its first "jobdating". The idea is to allow candidates to come and speak for about twenty minutes with employees about their jobs, before discussing with recruiters.

Although Spain has only one official language at national level (Castilian), the government will pay bonuses to public officials in contact with the public who speak at least one of the country's three regional languages (Basque, Catalan and Galician). This measure is being overseen by the newly-created Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Function.

The Norwegian government has designed a programme to integrate for new hires. "God Start!" is a dedicated platform that provides them with both general knowledge about working for the government and practical knowledge about their new environment. The uptake lasts six months and there are assessment interviews at various points with managers.
