Re: Frontex Border Guard
Money is obviously a big factor for UK and Ireland but the main reason is the second language and that its just a big block for UK and Irish potential applicants to have to go and acquire another language at B2 CEFL level in basically a year starting from scratch.
The Epso eligibility criteria will have to change as it not even really clear what will happen with the border of Northern Ireland and the republic which is still a border of Europe.
Many people in the Police sector and Military dont speak a second language to the level of B2. To my knowledge anyways but sure I could be wrong.

That is not surprising though. I'm pretty sure there have been A LOT more applicants from Romania and Spain than there has been from the UK. The main reason being (in my opinion and based on my information) that the Frontex salary and other benefits just aren't that inviting for the people from more developed EU countries.
The simplest and most logical explanation would be that the Romanians and the Spanish were just better than other applicants, no offence intended for other nationalities

Re: Frontex Border Guard
I am surprised that there are only two nationalities for what I am saying in the paragraph above, but at the same time I am not surprised because the economic conditions should not be equally economic for the candidates of each country, and something that can serve as a guide is the correction coefficient that is applied to European officials according to the country where they work, that is:
CORRECTION COEFFICIENT
As you can see, the coefficients are lower in Bulgaria and Romania, which means that the purchasing power and the cost of living there is much lower than in the other member countries, so for them this job opportunity is much more interesting than for a national from the UK, Finland, France, Denmark. What do you think?
Perhaps, in order to make the job offer ATTRACTIVE and achieve a greater European diaspora, the correction coefficients should not be applied to the economy of the destination country, but to the economy of each candidate's country of origin (although this would generate enormous salary differences and a very good work environment)

Re: Frontex Border Guard
Some more info - a friend of mine just passed two interviews and he told me this info - so far the plans are these - during a period of 6 months a person is going to be deployed for a period of 4 months, for the 2 months rest he is going to stay in Poland and take courses and take leave days. No leave days would be allowed during the 4 months deployment. That being said you would be allowed to visit your home country twice per year. I thought this was interesting to know.
What happens after those six months?
Will the rotation principle, established in the job offer, start to be applied at that time?

Re: Frontex Border Guard
Frontex replied personally confirming that YES he could run, as nothing changed with respect to British nationals in relation to BREXIT.

Re: Frontex Border Guard
They have explained that you will be deployed for a period of four consecutive months (no pause between) at a given place, after that you will be positioned at Warsaw for two months, and again will be deployed for a new period of four months at a different place (thus the rotation principle aplies) and again two more months in Poland, etc... The have also mentioned that you won't be deployed at your home country...

I'm sorry but because a country have a strong economy that is not a synonym that the other country's are not developed countries... All countries in Europe are developed Poland its the example of a developed Europe country but with a small economy because they not enter the Euro coin.
