Our staff are mainly officials recruited via the reserve lists from general competitions organised by the European Personnel Selection Office. In certain circumstances, however, the European Committee of the Regions may also engage temporary or contract staff.

Our working and contractual conditions are based on the Staff Regulations (SR) and the Conditions of Employment of other Servants of the European Communities (CEOS).

The application process for a position at the CoR depends on the contract type. However, in order to be recruited as an official by an EU institution, you have to follow a competition procedure that might include several oral and written tests.
