The examinations cover various categories, including higher, management, administrative, administrative assistant, higher degree, diploma, and subaltern professional staff scales. The call for applications, published in February, has been organized with decentralized examination sites in Barcelona (for 10,924 candidates), Girona (1,567), Lleida (1,534), and Tarragona (1,770).
The administrative body has attracted the most candidates, with 4,260 individuals applying for 366 positions. Following this, the higher administrative body has 3,682 candidates for 376 roles; the administrative assistant body has 2,359 for 144 positions; and the subaltern administrative body has 1,798 for 228 positions.
Women constitute the majority of applicants, at 71.4%, while men make up 28.3%. Those who secure a position will undergo a mandatory, though non-eliminatory, training course in the first quarter of 2027, following their official appointment.
Through this new recruitment drive, the Government reaffirms its commitment to approving public employment offers and conducting selection processes annually. The aim is to ensure predictability and transparency, as well as to attract new talent to the Catalan public administration.
Since the beginning of the current term, the Executive has approved a total of 16,932 public employment positions between 2025 and 2026. This initiative seeks to keep administrative temporality below 8% and promote administrative reform.
