The Federal Government has a large deficit in organs

O Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) has the largest number of open positions, with 895 vacancies in total. Esther Dweck's own ministry is in 2nd place with 650 openings in total.

The National Union of Central Bank Employees (Sinal) criticized the holding of a public tender without first doing a career restructuring.

The category complains about the holding of a new test for hiring employees that does not require a higher education, contrary to the qualification level required by the career. The Central Bank is on the list of new public tenders and will have 100 vacancies.

Esther Dweck claims that it is difficult to say which is the neediest sector of the Federal government and criticized the last government, which, according to her, celebrated the cut of vacancies. The minister also stated that the government will announce by August 31 the vacancies that will be open in 2024, before the delivery of the Annual Budget Law Project (PLOA) to Congress. Dweck claims that 80 vacancies were requested by public bodies, but that the amount will certainly be less than that of 2023.

Federal Government plans to create new criteria for conducting public tenders

The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services announced that it will extinguish 13.375 mid-level vacancies and create 9.935 higher-level positions in the public sector. It will be a transformation of positions without fiscal impact. There will be the creation of commissioned vacancies in the Ministries of Finance and Health.

In addition, the Federal Government plans to create new criteria for conducting public tenders due to possible fraud. In this way, it seeks to increase competition and ensure greater legal certainty, in addition to better selecting candidates.
