Canary Islands Government Resumes Hiring Process

The Canary Islands government has resumed the hiring process for several fixed-term government positions, after a six-month suspension caused by justified force majeure. The suspension was lifted once the reason behind it, related to a specific candidate, was resolved.

This move marks an important step in improving stable employment within the regional administration, directly benefiting residents by ensuring more consistent and reliable public service staffing.

Main Development

• The formal contract signing and appointment of selected candidates, including María Sagrario Mestres González, who was previously suspended.
• The process is guided by recent legal reforms aimed at reducing temporary employment and streamlining public sector hiring.

Timeline

• Candidates will go through the official signing of their contracts on November 26, 2025.
• Effective start dates will be between November 27 and December 11.
• Candidates are required to take their positions within this window, after which those who fail to do so without justified reasons will lose their chance.

Emphasis and Procedures

• The initiative emphasizes the government’s push for more permanent employment, directly impacting public service quality and stability.
• The resolution clarifies procedures for canceling temporary contracts for unselected candidates.
• Highlights the importance of transparent, organized hiring practices to meet legal standards and reduce job insecurity in the public sector.
