40 vacancies and the application deadline

The documentation must be sent within this deadline, while the same documents are also required to be sent by mail to the address of the National Bureau of Investigation, Jordan Misja Street, No. 1, Tirana.

The selection process goes through several filters
The competition process does not stop at documents. According to the announcement, candidates will initially undergo cognitive, behavioral, and logical reasoning testing.
This is followed by physical ability testing, an extended written test, and a structured interview. The scheme indicates a multi-stage procedure in which exclusion may occur at any phase of verification and testing.
Polygraph, assets, background, and mandatory checks
In addition to the tests that directly affect the competition, SPAK has also предусмотрed a package of mandatory checks for candidates.
This list includes a polygraph, asset, background, and security verifications, as well as medical and psychological examinations. These stages are not scored, but remain conditions that must be passed in order to continue in the process.
The call for 40 new investigators comes at a time when such structures are presented as a key link in high-profile investigations, but the recruitment process itself remains based on internal filters and the criteria set by the institution.
For those interested, the official deadline remains September 14, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
