Contract Staff (CAST Permanent) With the CAST Permanent procedure the EU institutions, bodies and agencies may recruit contract agents to work in various professional fields. The word CAST stands for Contract Agents Selection Tool. Permanent means that there is no deadline, so candidates can submit an application at any time. Contract Agents are recruited to perform temporary manual or administrative support tasks or to provide additional capacity in specialised fields whenever there is an insufficient number of officials with the required skills. When recruiting needs arise, the EU institutions, bodies and agencies may select a number of candidates from the CAST applications database whose qualifications match the professional profile being sought. These pre-selected applicants are invited to sit a series of computer-based, multiple-choice tests. Those who successfully pass this first selection will undergo a second phase that includes an interview and/or other forms of evaluation. Find more information about CAST Permanent selection tests on our sample tests page. Candidates who succeed in all steps of the selection may receive an offer of employment. Contract Agents are recruited for a fixed maximum period of 6 years, often with a shorter initial but renewable contract of 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of job. In some agencies, representations and delegations this temporary opportunity may lead to an indefinite contract. For additional information and details, you can also check our CAST Permanent FAQs section.
