Around 451 candidates who passed the public competition for Caivano but were not hired are asking the Campania regional administration to consider the existing rankings before opening new selections for the same professional profiles.
The appeal, reported by Il Mattino Napoli and attributed to the Nucleo Operativo Idonei Caivano, is addressed to Roberto Fico. The candidates' message is summed up in the headline quotation: "Abbiamo superato un concorso pubblico ma per la Regione non esistiamo" — "We passed a public competition but for the Region we do not exist."
The Caivano competition
The competition at the centre of the appeal is the RIPAM competition launched in October 2024 for 19 permanent, non-management positions in Caivano, across five professional profiles.
According to the report, the rankings were approved in November 2024 and are held by RIPAM. The ranking for administrative instructors is reported as valid until 8 November 2027.
What the committee reports
Citing its own monitoring, the Nucleo Operativo Idonei Caivano says approximately 451 administrative-instructor candidates remain available in Campania, compared with 616 initially listed. That figure comes from the committee's monitoring and is not independently confirmed by an official ranking document in the reporting.
The article also reports that several ministries have drawn on the rankings since June 2025, including a latest allocation of 77 positions by the Interior Ministry.
What the candidates are asking
The committee is asking the Campania Region to assess whether current staffing needs could be met by using the existing eligible-candidate rankings, rather than launching new competitions for the same profiles.
The report does not establish whether the Campania Region has formally evaluated or rejected that request. The precise number of candidates remaining in each professional profile, beyond the administrative-instructor and accounting-officer figures mentioned in the coverage, is also not established.
For now, the candidates' case rests on two reported points: the rankings are still valid, and other public administrations have already used them.
