Canary Islands Government Announces Final Hiring of New Permanent Staff

The Canary Islands government announced the final hiring of new permanent staff across various public administration roles, marking a significant move to stabilize temporary employment. The resolution specifies the selection process, the official assignment of jobs, and the steps for new hires to take their positions between October 9 and 23, 2025.

Context and Goals

This decision aligns with urgent measures introduced earlier this year to reduce temporary contracts and improve job stability in public services. It also emphasizes the importance of clear procedures, including signing contracts electronically before taking up posts, and the mandatory stay in their roles for at least two years.

Transition and Implementation

The announcement clarifies the transition from temporary to permanent employment, including the termination of temporary contracts just before the new hires formalize their positions.

The resolution aims to:

• streamline hiring
• reduce bureaucratic delays
• ensure an efficient recruitment process

This is critical for public service continuity and quality.

Broader Impact and Significance

Residents should note the focus on long-term employment stability signals a broader effort to reform public administration, prioritize job security, and enhance the transparency of public recruitment processes.

The move reflects ongoing efforts to modernize and stabilize the Canary Islands public sector workforce. With the issuance published in the official gazette on September 15, 2025, the government demonstrates a clear commitment to public sector reform and workforce stabilization.
