You can advance without changing jobs, without competing against colleagues.
En un momento en que las administraciones públicas de todo el mundo buscan renovar su relación con el talento humano, Andalucía da un paso significativo: un portal digital unificará todas las ofertas de empleo público y automatizará los procesos de selección, mientras acuerdos laborales históricos redefinen cómo se progresa y se permanece dentro de la función pública. La iniciativa, respaldada por una inversión de 250 millones de euros hasta 2030, no es solo una actualización tecnológica, sino una apuesta por hacer del servicio público un destino profesional más justo y sostenible para los cerca de 65.000 empleados de la administración andaluza.
- Un sistema de contratación pública fragmentado y con décadas de retraso acumulado cede su lugar a un portal digital que centraliza ofertas, automatiza selecciones y gestiona bolsas de candidatos en tiempo real.
- La temporalidad, que llegó a afectar al 50% de la plantilla, ha caído al 8% tras procesos extraordinarios de estabilización, aliviando una precariedad que pesaba sobre miles de trabajadores públicos.
- Los sindicatos y el gobierno regional han negociado un modelo de carrera horizontal que permite subir el sueldo hasta 10.890 euros anuales sin necesidad de cambiar de puesto ni competir por una plaza superior.
- La implantación escalonada entre 2026 y 2030 genera expectativas concretas: los empleados saben cuándo y cuánto pueden mejorar, lo que transforma la incertidumbre en planificación.
- El conjunto de medidas dibuja una administración que ya no solo gestiona personas, sino que intenta retenerlas con condiciones que compitan con el sector privado.
La Junta de Andalucía se prepara para lanzar un portal digital que reunirá en un solo espacio todas las ofertas de empleo público de la región y automatizará el proceso de selección, desde la solicitud inicial hasta la incorporación definitiva, tanto para funcionarios de carrera como para trabajadores temporales. La orden que lo regula fue publicada el 24 de febrero de 2026 en el boletín administrativo regional.
El nuevo sistema responde a exigencias actuales de accesibilidad, seguridad e interoperabilidad de datos, pero también tiene una vocación más amplia: mostrar con claridad qué significa trabajar en la administración andaluza y atraer así a candidatos cualificados. Es, en ese sentido, tanto una herramienta de gestión como un escaparate institucional.
El portal llega acompañado de acuerdos laborales que el consejero José Antonio Nieto ha calificado de históricos ante el parlamento regional. Fruto de la negociación con los sindicatos, estos acuerdos comprometen 250 millones de euros hasta 2030 para mejorar las condiciones de empleo y la prestación de servicios, beneficiando a unos 65.000 empleados. Sobre los cimientos de la ley de empleo público aprobada en 2023, la temporalidad ha pasado del 50% al 8% gracias a procesos de estabilización extraordinarios y nuevas fórmulas de selección continua.
El cambio estructural más profundo es la carrera horizontal: un modelo de seis tramos que permitirá a los empleados públicos progresar económicamente sin necesidad de cambiar de puesto. Las subidas salariales anuales podrán alcanzar los 10.890 euros en los grupos de clasificación más altos y los 2.587 euros en los niveles de entrada. El despliegue se extenderá entre 2026 y 2029, y se completará con un nuevo sistema de evaluación del desempeño que sustituirá al actual modelo de productividad a partir de 2029.
Portal y carrera horizontal son, en definitiva, dos caras de la misma apuesta: reducir la fricción para entrar en la administración y eliminar la presión de perseguir ascensos para progresar dentro de ella. Juntos, apuntan a una Andalucía que quiere que sus empleados públicos no solo lleguen, sino que quieran quedarse.
Andalusia's regional government is preparing to launch a new digital portal that will consolidate all public sector job postings and automate the hiring process—a shift that represents the latest phase in a broader modernization of how the region manages its workforce. The portal, announced through an official order dated February 24, 2026, and published in the regional administrative bulletin, will replace the existing system with one designed to handle everything from initial applications through final selection for both permanent civil servants and temporary workers, while also managing the rotating pools of candidates available for short-term assignments.
The initiative sits within a larger strategic plan for human resources across Andalusia's administration through 2030, and it reflects what officials describe as a fundamental operational need. The new system is being built to meet current standards for accessibility, security, data interoperability, and user experience—requirements that align with the region's broader digital transformation agenda. Beyond the mechanics of job posting and application processing, the portal is intended to serve a secondary purpose: painting a clearer picture of what work actually looks like inside the regional administration, with the goal of drawing skilled candidates and making the hiring and promotion process itself more efficient.
This technological upgrade arrives alongside a series of labor agreements that José Antonio Nieto, the regional minister overseeing justice, local administration, and public employment, recently described to parliament as historic. Those agreements, reached with union organizations through formal negotiating bodies, commit the region to investing 250 million euros through 2030 in improvements to public sector employment and service delivery. The investment will touch roughly 65,000 employees across the administration.
The agreements build on foundations laid in 2023, when Andalusia passed a new public employment law and began implementing its regulatory framework. One of the most visible results has been a dramatic reduction in temporary work: the share of temporary positions has fallen from 50 percent to 8 percent over the past few years, achieved through clearing a backlog of delayed job postings, running extraordinary stabilization processes, and introducing new selection methods like open and continuous competitive processes.
But the real structural change lies in what officials call horizontal career progression—a system that allows public employees to earn more money and advance professionally without having to change jobs or compete for a different position. The model divides advancement into six stages and will roll out gradually between 2026 and 2029 according to a timeline negotiated with unions. Annual salary increases under this system can reach as high as 10,890 euros for senior-level positions in the highest classification group, and 2,587 euros for entry-level workers. Alongside this, the region is introducing a new performance evaluation system to replace the current productivity model; it will be paid out once a year and will take effect between 2029 and 2030.
The portal launch and the career progression system represent two sides of the same effort: making public sector work more attractive and more navigable. The portal removes friction from the hiring side; the career system removes the pressure to chase promotions just to get ahead. Together, they suggest a shift in how Andalusia thinks about keeping its workforce stable and engaged over the long term.

A Conversa do Hearth Outra perspectiva sobre a história
Why does a region need to rebuild its job portal now? Isn't the current one working?
It works, but it's not automated. Right now, someone has to manually process each application, each step. The new system does that work itself—it's faster, it's consistent, and it frees people up to focus on actually evaluating candidates rather than shuffling paperwork.
And the timing—this comes with these big labor agreements. Are those connected?
Completely. The unions wanted proof that the region was serious about improving public sector work. The portal is part of that proof. It says: we're investing in the infrastructure that makes your job easier, that makes hiring fairer, that makes the whole system more transparent.
The horizontal career progression—that's the part that seems genuinely different. Why does it matter that people can advance without changing jobs?
Because it breaks the old trap. You used to have to compete for a promotion, which meant competing against colleagues, which created tension and burnout. Now you can stay in the role you know, get better at it, and still earn more. That's stability. That's what keeps people in public service.
But it costs money—10,000 euros a year per person in some cases. Where does that come from?
The 250 million euro commitment. It's a bet that keeping experienced people in the system is cheaper than constantly recruiting and training new ones. And it's phased in over four years, so the region isn't absorbing the full cost all at once.
What happens to people who do want to move up, to take on more responsibility?
They still can. This doesn't close that door. It just means you don't have to leave your current role to get paid more. The system creates space for both paths.
