Human resources policy

The conditions of employment of the Bank's permanent staff members are, for the most part, laid down in the CEB's Staff Regulations. In particular, these define the provisions for staff appointment and evaluation, the rights and duties of staff members, the working conditions and procedures to be followed in the event of a dispute. The system of remuneration of the CEB's permanent staff members is structured around:

	a basic salary scale
	a series of benefits and allowances
	a performance bonus

Emoluments of Appointed Officials, Governor and Vice-Governors, range from 20 575 to 27 050 euros per month for 2009.

The post-employment benefits the Bank offers its permanent staff members are, for the most part, laid down in the CEB's Pension Scheme Rules. In particular, these set forth the conditions that must be met in order to be entitled to a pension and the methods for calculating the amount of benefit.

Recruitment

Who can become a member of the Bank's staff ?

	Any national of one of the Bank's Member States may send in an application. Nationals of countries that have joined since 1994 are particularly encouraged to apply.
	Candidates must have a perfect command of one of the two official languages, French and English, and have a very good working knowledge of the other. Knowledge of one or several other European languages is a particular asset.
	Recruitment is carried out on the basis of the candidate's professional qualifications in relation to a vacancy.

How do we recruit?

Vacancies for permanent posts open to external recruitment are published in official vacancy notices containing a description of the post and the qualifications and experience required of candidates.
A shortlist of candidates is drawn up on the basis of their qualifications, skills and other recruitment prerequisites.
Shortlisted candidates are then invited to come for one or several interviews. Certain expenses are covered by the Bank.
Candidates called for interviews may, in certain cases, be required to take tests (a language test for secretarial positions, for example).
Candidates to whom no immediate job proposal is made may be put on a reserve list, valid for two years.
The same posts may also be advertised, either simultaneously or at a later date, in the international press, for example.
