Reserve List

Candidates who succeed in the selection procedures are placed on a reserve list. The reserve list constitutes a pool of potential recruits that the Agency may use to fill vacant posts of similar nature, function group and grade.

However, placement on a reserve list does not guarantee employment in eu-LISA.

The adopted reserve lists have a fixed validity and may be extended by the Executive Director in the interest of service.
