The year 2024 brings a revolution in the selection of federal public servants with the Unified National Public Contest. The decree establishing this change is already in effect, promising to unify selection processes across Brazil.
A New Era in Selections
The Unified National Public Contest will mark the beginning of a new way to recruit federal servants. Initially, 6,590 vacancies will be offered across 20 agencies that have adopted this innovative system. The publication of the announcement is scheduled for December 20, with the exams taking place between February and March.
The Unified National Contest is designed to occur simultaneously in 180 cities across the country. A notable feature is the inclusion of remote areas, such as São Miguel da Cachoeira in Amazonas, serving the indigenous population.

Like the original Enem, the first stage of the Unified Contest will take place in a single day, divided into two parts. In the first part, there will be an objective test with content common to all candidates. Immediately afterward, on the same day, dissertative tests will be applied with content specific to the thematic blocks.
Registrations and Selection of Vacancies
Candidates will need to choose one of the blocks of government areas available at the time of registration. They can then indicate their preference for positions within the selected block. The topics covered in the tests will be disclosed in the announcement, maintaining the tradition of current contests.
