Greek public sector recruitment and employment trends

Overview

Greece continues to implement various public sector recruitment drives. The Supreme Council for Civil Personnel Selection (ASEP) has issued calls for specialized scientific personnel and announced results for the 1GB/2026 call, covering 2,628 permanent positions in the Technological Education (TE) category. ASEP also released preliminary results for the 2K/2026 call for 839 TE positions within Ministry of Health agencies. Recent planning includes the Greek Cabinet’s approval of a 2027 recruitment plan for 20,870 permanent staff, prioritizing health services, National Defense, public safety, and the Fire Service.

On October 18, 2026, ASEP announced further large-scale recruitment drives. Proclamation 7K/2026 offers 3,262 positions for candidates with compulsory education, including roles such as health assistants, nursing assistants, and cemetery workers, with selection based on priority rather than written exams. Additionally, proclamation 3GB/2026 targets university-educated candidates for 97 permanent and fixed-term positions across various ministries and independent authorities, such as the National Cybersecurity Authority. Other local drives include hundreds of roles for municipalities and cultural institutions, including the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki.

Legislative developments also address staffing for municipal childcare and education. A new amendment seeks to facilitate a unified recruitment system via ASEP and expands permanent position types to include Kindergarten Teachers and Occupational Therapists. Regarding teacher recruitment, Education Minister Sofia Zacharaki clarified the calculation of professional experience for private school teachers in ASEP ranking tables. The Ministry stated that private sector experience is calculated using a coefficient of 0.9 units per month, provided candidates meet specific consecutive service requirements.
