A Candidate

Further information about EIF’s recruitment procedure
Applications are evaluated by a human resources professional and will be discussed with the hiring manager if meeting the criteria for the job. A short-list is compiled and selected candidates are invited for interviews and tests (professional and personality inventory). On occasion a phone interview may precede the invitation to interview.
The selection process varies depending on the position for which the application is made.
EIF does not recruit through EU-type competitions and does not accept spontaneous applications.

EIF uses recruitment agencies or head hunters only on an exceptional basis. Such companies should forward their documentation and conditions to the following address before making formal contact with EIF:
European Investment Fund, Responsible for Human Resources, 96 boulevard Konrad Adenauer, L-2968 Luxembourg

Which nationalities can apply for an EIF job?
Only applications from nationals of the Member States of the European Union are considered. Citizens from candidate Countries (countries with which EU accession negotiations are already in progress, currently Croatia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Turkey) may also be considered for fixed term contracts.
The possession of an EU work permit is not sufficient by itself to be eligible for employment at EIF.

What is the time limit for submitting an application?

If necessary, additional information (deadline, post not immediately vacant, establishment of a reserve list of candidates, type of contract, etc.) is included in the advertisement.

We offer permanent and fixed-term contracts. 
On an ad-hoc basis, EIF offers traineeships and scholarships in collaboration with universities. For further information, please contact Human Resources by email:  EIFHR@eif.org
