Criteria used for the talent screener in EPSO/CAST/S/5/2013


Case 535/2014/JAS - Opened on Tuesday | 06 May 2014 - Decision on Monday | 26 September 2016 - Institution concerned European Personnel Selection Office ( No maladministration found ) - Country Italy

Allegation(s)

1) The talent screener used CAST/S/5/2013 favoured candidates with a doctoral diploma. This was in contradiction to the Call for Expressions of Interest and thus also in breach of the principle of transparency.

2) EPSO wrongly rejected the complainant's complaint under Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations as inadmissible.


Claim(s)

1) EPSO should acknowledge that the way in which the talent screener was applied in CAST/S/5/2013 was discriminatory and breached the principle of transparency.

2) EPSO should invite at least those candidates without doctorates who scored the maximum points for work experience to sit the next stage of the selection procedure.

3) EPSO should reply to the substance of the complainant's Article 90(2) complaint
