The Candidates Who Passed the Interview Database contains a list of job applicants who successfully passed the recruitment interview but have not yet been assigned to work stations. This database serves as a resource for filling future vacancies in the Public Service according to employer needs.

Once applicants are assigned to work stations, the names of those not yet placed are officially retained in this database.

This list can be used to fill vacancies without conducting a new interview if the candidates already meet the required qualifications and expertise.
If the database lacks suitable candidates, the Secretariat may announce new vacancies and conduct fresh interviews.
Where multiple candidates have equal scores, the ranking procedure as outlined in the recruitment regulations shall be applied.

Duration: The database will remain active for one (1) year from the date the interview results are approved.
