Germany: interamt.de — Federal, State & Local Public Service Portal

Overview

Germany has no single national FPSC-style commission — each federal ministry, each of the 16 Länder (states) and most municipalities recruits independently — but interamt.de is the shared public-service career portal that aggregates postings from all of them, alongside karriere.bund.de for specifically federal roles.

About German Federal, State (Länder) & Municipal Public Administrations

interamt.de is Germany's shared job portal for public-sector vacancies across federal, state (Länder) and municipal administrations, reflecting Germany's decentralized civil service structure where each level of government recruits somewhat independently rather than through one unified national commission.

Coverage & Financial Benefits

• Aggregates vacancies from federal, state and municipal employers in one search
• Covers everyone from entry-level administrative roles to specialist and management posts
• karriere.bund.de complements it specifically for federal-government positions

Requirements & Eligibility

• EU/EEA citizenship for most roles; German or EU citizenship for civil-servant (Beamte) status roles
• Recognized qualifications for the specific post (German-language proficiency is usually required)
