Regarding the pandemic measures throughout the Europe, I dont believe it would be possible to realize medical check in Warsaw and gather dozens of people in Spain within incoming month. I expect, that third batch training will be postponed or launched online.

Thanks for the message gjdige. I hope as well that the Frontex recruitment team will still send some contracts in the upcoming days. By the way, do you know if these people which you mentioned have been in contact with Frontex at all, like have they sent e-mails asking about their own situation and about the recruitment process in general? And if so, did they get any answers?

Randello

Yes, this situation with the pandemic is getting more and more difficult. Avoiding unnecessary traveling is really important, so having just a medical check-up in Warsaw and then flying to Spain sounds just idiotic. Online learning also has vast amounts of problems and can hinder learning progress/morale. But, if all of the candidates will have to live in the premises of the Police academy, I can't see any problems with just test everyone and construct this 'bubble' for the candidates as NBA did in the play-offs.

gjdige

Yep, they tried to somehow contact Frontex, but all the time it was the same - procedure is ongoing please wait we will inform you (bla, bla). It's the same situation for myself. I tried to write letters, call, but in the end just wait and we will inform you, they even didn't tell any approx. dates at all, so I still have some hopes that I'll be invited in the third batch, but after all February is close enough so we will see.

Hi!
I just join this forum, and please allow me to thanks everyone for sharing their experience and suggestion!
I have a few questions: any news/rumours about the next new recruiting process?
end of 2021?
2022?

Thanks!
S.

Do you have any updated information on standing corps composition?
7 advaced officers
50 intermediate
xxx basic ?


Thanks!
Is it enough a copy of those docs or I need to bring my own original version?
Do I need to translate them?

Ciao!
any updated news about this topic?
thanks!

Randello

Yes, we are in the same boat. I did send them once an email, approximately 1 month after my interview to ask how is the process continuing, and more or less I wanted to have some kind of conclusion that did I even pass the interview? For this e-mail, they never bother to answer, so for the last 3 months I have been clueless, that am I still in the game or not. Still, I'm not completely sure, but they did ask to send my documents, so I guess that's a positive result. I would want to ask them again, but I really want this job and because of that I don't want to bother them by bombing messages and then be placed to some weirdo/persona non-grata-list.

Also, from different people and forums, I heard the same about the answers that the Frontex recruitment team is giving, so basically even asking them is waste of time. But I have my fingers (again) crossed that next week we will finally receive some news.

- New recruitment never before or during 2021;
- We are talking about the originals, without the need for an official translation;
- Until see nothing. Just what has already been said here.

Emails today... A lot.
Basic candidates. Reserve list notice so far.
​​​

Randello

Yes, it seems like it what I'm reading from the Facebook group. Let's see when the AST4 candidates will receive some information. I know that always someone needs to be first and last, but this is getting ridiculous.

Marek019

What does mean? Only those are gonna be placed to the reserve list will recieve mail? No job offers for basic level so far? Do you have any information if basic candidates will join Ast4 cantidates in Avila in February? Thanks.

Spagniol

It means that many basic candidates have received Emails stating that they are on a reserve list. I'm not aware of anyone who has received job offers (basic). Apart from this, from yesterday, there is no more news.

Randello

I agree completely with what Spagniol is writing. It is still a mystery if some candidates will receive contract offers to Ávila. Yes, I know that it starts really soon, and sending offers/doing medical check-ups should be done way earlier, but there is still a (minor) chance.

I try to think about it this way:
1. The amount of candidates who will start in Ávila doesn't seem to be high, at the moment what I understood from the previous messages.
2. The premises in Ávila are modern and big, so it is an ideal place for training officers. (Yes, there is also Spanish Police, Guardia Civil, and some random officers from South America)
3. Frontex really wants to achieve this 10.000 employees in the future, but now it looks like that they are way behind the numbers which they wanted to achieve.
4. The diversity between the candidates is important regarding the background, nationality, age, and gender.
5. Almost everything in this recruitment process has been illogical. Logic says that they will not send any new contracts to candidates, so let's hope this illogic still has a joker in the hand for us all.
