With its “Cura Italia” scheme, the government has adjusted the conditions for organising its competitive examinations which have been upended by the current situation so that the mass recruitment planned for 2020 can still take place. Departments will have to mainstream online pre-selection so as to severely limit the number of applicants taking the written exams and also conduct interviews using videoconferencing. 

In order to buttress this sector that has been significantly affected, the National Management Centre (CNG) is offering peer cooperation workshops on actual professional situations related to the health crisis. Managers of hospitals, healthcare, social and medical/social and care establishments will be able to expand on their ideas and discuss potential solutions so as to act more effectively within a framework of cooperation.

Recasting certain procedures, even formal ones, is the rationale behind the decision to allow federal agencies to administer the oath of office through video connections and for newly-recruited employees to conduct their entire onboarding process online. Employees must undertake to send electronic versions of the signed documents to their employers to validate the various steps.
