Government authorizes the calling of 4,300 candidates approved in the Unified Competition

The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) authorized the call for 4,330 candidates approved in the first edition of the Unified National Public Competition (CPNU).

With Ordinance No. 3,114 published in an extra edition of the Official Gazette of the Union on Friday the 25th, 16 federal agencies and entities will be able to begin appointing successful candidates to positions that do not have an initial training course as a stage of the selection process. It will be up to each agency to make the appointment and swear in the new employees.

The Ministry of Management expects the first appointments to be published in May. The vacancies authorized for filling are for mid-level and higher-level positions in the eight thematic blocks. These include analysts, technicians, specialists and researchers in areas such as administration, education, statistics, engineering, communications, technology and public policy.

The MGI ordinance is based on the sanctioned 2025 Annual Budget Law, which guarantees the necessary resources for the appointments.

Unified competition

The so-called Enem dos Concursos is considered the largest public examination ever held in Brazil. In 2024, the number of applicants totaled 2,144,397 to compete for 6,640 vacancies for public positions at higher, intermediate and technical levels for various specialties, in 21 federal public administration bodies. The salaries of future federal employees range from R$3,741.84 to R$22,921.71.

The first edition of the competition was held on August 18th of last year, simultaneously in 218 cities in all states, with the payment of a single registration fee. Around 1 million candidates took the objective and discursive tests. The federal government's goal was to democratize the population's access to public service vacancies.

The second edition of the CPNU is expected to be held in the second half of this year, this Monday (28), as predicted by the Minister of Management and Innovation in Public Services, Esther Dweck.
