As announced during the reform to make hiring more professional and regionally-based, the website on which all government departments are now obliged to post notices of competitive examinations, the composition of panels and lists of successful applicants is now online. Candidates can also follow the progress of their applications from their personal account on the website.

Publicising job opportunities in the civil service by presenting assignments and career development options is the goal of the sweeping programme for the recruitment of talented individuals being implemented by the government’s HRD. It takes the form of conferences in higher education and vocational establishments throughout Spain at which speakers highlight the advantages of working in the public sector.        

In tandem with the new public sector job exchange, an internal mobility support unit (Mobilitätsmanagement) is available to federal government employees. It manages a database of candidates having applied to change position and helps them with procedures (setting up profiles, offers of positions and interviews). It is also tasked with regulating under- and over-staffing.
