Canary Islands Government Announces New Recruitment Exams for Public Administration Roles
Canary Islands Government Announces Civil Service Recruitment Process
The Canary Islands government has officially announced the upcoming selection process for several key administrative roles within its public sector. These exams are part of the 2021 employment plan aimed at recruiting new civil servants through a transparent, open competition system.
The tests will target various specialist fields, including:
- engineering
- architecture
- maritime sciences
- psychology
- prevention techniques
- archives
Legislative Changes and Fair Selection Processes
The Department of Public Administration has also set up a public database of civil servants willing to serve as exam tribunal members, with random selection through a draw, ensuring a fair and efficient process.
Recent legislative changes, enacted in June 2025, introduce new rules for tribunal composition and substitute members, streamlining the candidate evaluation.
"A key innovation is the possibility of conducting combined first exercises across various civil service exams when the subject matter and test type are identical."
This move aims to:
- save time
- conserve resources
- maintain selection integrity
A unified tribunal will oversee the first exam phase for multiple roles, with specific expert panels handling the subsequent tests.
Tribunal Organization
Designated officials, including:
- a president
- several members representing diverse technical backgrounds
will serve on the tribunal.
The resolutions, published in the Canary Islands Official Bulletin, detail the organization and legal framework supporting these recruitment efforts, promising a more efficient pathway for talented professionals to join the regional public administration.
