On Friday, the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services in Brazil announced the classification lists for the Unified National Contest (Concurso Nacional Unificado, CNU). This includes immediate vacancies and a waiting list for candidates. Furthermore, the announcement included details on the next crucial steps of the competition, namely the publication of the first call for candidates to confirm their interest in the positions they were approved for, which is mandatory.

Candidates listed in the first call will need to confirm their interest in the accepted positions between February 21 and February 23. This is a significant component of the process, as it will determine who will proceed to the next phases. Following this, a new classification list will be released on February 27, which will reflect the outcomes of the first confirmation submissions and will coincide with the second call, allowing candidates from February 28 to March 2 to confirm their interest once more.

The entire process indicates a structured approach to public service hiring in Brazil, aiming to streamline the selection and onboarding of candidates. The timelines are essential for both the applicants and the administrative bodies involved, ensuring that the staffing needs are met promptly and efficiently as they transition through the stages of the CNU.
