Federal Government Faces A Large Deficit In Agencies
The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) has the highest number of open positions, with a total of 895 vacancies. The ministry itself led by Esther Dweck is in second place, with 650 vacancies in total.
The National Syndicate of Central Bank Employees (Sinal) has criticized the holding of a public competition without first restructuring the career.
The category complains about the organization of a new exam for hiring employees that does not require a higher education degree, contrary to the level of qualification required by the career. The Central Bank is on the list of new public competitions and will have 100 positions.
Esther Dweck states that it is difficult to determine which sector is most in need in the Federal Government and criticized the last government, which, according to her, celebrated job cuts. The minister also declared that the government will announce by August 31 the vacancies that will be open in 2024, prior to submitting the Annual Budget Law Project (PLOA) to Congress. Dweck claims that 80 thousand vacancies have been requested by public agencies, but that the number will definitely be lower than that of 2023.
Federal Government Plans To Create New Criteria For Conducting Public Competitions
The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services announced that it will eliminate 13,375 vacancies at the middle level and create 9,935 at the higher level in the public sector. This will be a transformation of positions with no fiscal impact. There will be the creation of commissioned positions in the Ministries of Finance and Health.
In addition, the Federal Government plans to create new criteria for conducting public competitions due to possible frauds. In this way, it seeks to increase competition and ensure greater legal security, as well as better select candidates.
