An innovative test
The preliminary selection test was a multiple-choice exam covering subjects that are essential for the role of inspector. These subjects included elements of administrative law, constitutional law, state accounting, private law, and the regulations of the Ministry of the Interior, with a particular focus on the National Fire Brigade.
Administering the test digitally, using tablet technology enabled the process to be standardized, ensuring security and complete traceability of the results.
A collective effort
Implementing this procedure required coordination between various institutions and stakeholders, including the Ministry of the Interior, competition committees, logistics managers, and operational support teams.
This collective effort was essential to ensure that every stage, from candidate registration to the conclusion of the tests, was managed rigorously, transparently, and in accordance with institutional standards.
Technology, logistics and people
In a selection process of this size, technology and people must work together. Recrytera guarantees:
- fully digital management of the competition procedures.
- security and integrity of the tests.
- candidate check-in and recognition via digital systems.
- reliable support for each exam session.
This combination has made it possible to simplify complex operations while maintaining high levels of efficiency, even when there are a large number of participants.
A reference model for the fire brigade and armed forces
The recruitment of logistics and management inspectors for the National Fire Brigade is a prime example of the digitisation of public selection processes.
By entrusting the management of such a large and complex test to a digital platform, the Administration has been able to standardise competition operations, increase transparency and fairness, and support many candidates without compromising on quality or security.
This case study illustrates how technological innovation and organisational expertise can transform, simplify, and accelerate public recruitment processes.
