Faced with a challenging recruitment landscape (3% job vacancy rate, or nearly 4,000 positions), the government of Berlin has launched a new website under the slogan “Come work for the best city in the world”. It’s also introducing new incentives, voting in favour of a “Berlin bonus” of €150/month for government employees (up to Category A, Level 1), starting 1 November. 

As it’s the start of a new term for many mayors and EPCI (intermunicipal cooperation institution) presidents, the National Centre for Local Civil Service (CNFPT) and Association of French Mayors (AMF) have teamed up to offer interactive training on their role as regional employers. The training covers all areas of HR management (compensation, organisational structure, working conditions, training, mobility and disciplinary responsibilities).

The Austrian civil service job board has a new feature to help people find the right fit. Applicants can now upload their CV into the system, which will analyse it with the help of AI to recommend relevant job postings. A smart way to get more targeted results.
