Selor

Selor is the recruitment service of the Belgian federal government. It is responsible for the recruitment and selection of staff for the federal public services, including ministries and federal agencies. The service provides a centralized, merit-based process intended to be fair and transparent, supporting both external and internal (internal mobility) recruitment.

Selor’s core activities include posting vacancies on its online recruitment portal, processing applications, and coordinating the selection procedure. This can involve various assessment steps, such as written tests, competency-based evaluations, interviews, and other assessments designed to measure suitability for the position. Open competitions and other selection formats are used depending on the role and the applicable rules.

Applicants use the Selor online platform to browse vacancies, submit applications, and monitor the status of their candidacy. The platform operates in the official languages of Belgium, notably Dutch and French, with the aim of serving the multilingual federal administration. Some opportunities may specify language requirements and security checks as part of the selection process.

Beyond entry-level recruitment, Selor also supports pathways such as internships, traineeships, and other entry routes, contributing to the broader career development and mobility within the federal administration. The service maintains a candidate database to streamline future recruitment while adhering to privacy laws and anti-discrimination rules. Selor collaborates with federal ministries and agencies to fill vacancies and ensure effective, equitable access to public sector employment.
