The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) recently confirmed the holding of a new public competition. According to information from Folha Dirigida, the bank revealed that the selection process will have 94 vacancies for positions at the middle and higher levels.

BNDES also confirmed that 40% of the positions will be reserved for quotas, with 30% allocated for black candidates and 10% for people with disabilities (PwDs). It is worth noting that these percentages are higher than the legal minimum of 10% and 5%, respectively.

Confirmed Information About the BNDES Competition

According to BNDES Advisory, the last competition took place in 2012, before the introduction of Law No. 12,990/2014, which refers to the reservation of vacancies for racial quotas. Therefore, the next selection process will be an inclusive initiative, seeking to promote diversity within the organization.

Currently, the bank has approximately 14.6% of its employees as black (12.9% brown and 1.7% black), while the representation of this group in Brazilian society is 56.1% (47% brown and 9.1% black), according to data from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD Contínua).

The organizing body for the competition will still be determined and hired to manage the applications and conduct the exams. The last BNDES competition, held in 2012, was organized by the Cesgranrio Foundation. The announcement of the new selection process is expected to be published at the beginning of 2024.
