Where are official BUMN vacancies announced?

Official BUMN vacancies are announced on the BUMN careers and internships page of Badan Pengaturan BUMN, the state-owned enterprise regulator, and on each company's own careers site. That page (read 7 October 2026) lists joint recruitment, the MAGENTA BUMN internship programme and a directory of SOE careers sites grouped by industry. Use the directory as your starting point and open company careers sites from its links, not from links someone sends you.

Has the 2026 joint BUMN recruitment opened?

No registration had been announced when we checked on 8 October 2026. The FHCI website says the joint BUMN recruitment (Rekrutmen Bersama BUMN) ran from 2022 to 2024 and links no registration portal that is open now, while the BUMN regulator's Careers and Internships page lists each state-owned company's careers site. Each company can open vacancies at any time on its own careers site. Follow those official sites and FHCI's official accounts, and ignore registration posters from outside official channels.

What is BUMN joint recruitment (Rekrutmen Bersama BUMN)?

Rekrutmen Bersama BUMN is a recruitment programme initiated by the Ministry of SOEs with Forum Human Capital Indonesia (FHCI), according to the Badan Pengaturan BUMN careers page. Besides the general track, there are tracks for people with disabilities and for young people from Papua and West Papua. On 7 October 2026 the page did not show a 2026 schedule, so watch the official page and the official accounts of the Ministry of SOEs and FHCI.

How can you be sure a BUMN careers site is genuine?

Open the careers-site directory on the BUMN careers and internships page, find the company and follow its link. Compare the address you received with the link in the directory; if they differ, do not enter any data. Check the sender's e-mail address too: the Ministry of Manpower lists free e-mail or website domains as a sign of a fake job. For private partner companies, check the legal entity on AHU Online.

What is MAGENTA BUMN?

MAGENTA BUMN is the internship programme listed by Badan Pengaturan BUMN on its careers and internships page, for joining and growing with the wider state-owned enterprise family. Requirements, schedules and positions are announced on the programme's official page. As with jobs, official internship registration happens through official channels, and an internship offer that asks for money up front deserves suspicion.

Do you have to pay to apply for a BUMN job?

You should not. FHCI and the Ministry of SOEs said every stage of the 2024 joint recruitment was free of any charge, according to detikFinance (30 March 2024). PLN has also said it charges selection participants nothing and does not reimburse transport or accommodation. The Ministry of Manpower lists requests for money for administration, training or uniforms as a sign of a fake job.

What are the signs of fake BUMN recruitment?

Common signs: test invitations from free e-mail domains, requests to transfer money for tickets, hotels or test fees, offers of an insider route in exchange for money, and registration links that do not come from the official directory. Scammers also often ask for a photo of your ID card, your bank account number or a selfie holding your ID. Do not pay, keep the evidence and check the ad in the job checker or in the fake BUMN and civil-service recruitment guide.

Checklist before applying to a BUMN

  • You opened the careers site from the directory on the BUMN careers and internships page.
  • The invitation e-mail uses the company's official domain, not free e-mail.
  • Nobody asks for money for tests, tickets, hotels or uniforms.
  • Nobody offers an insider route or a paid placement.
  • You enter personal data only on the company's official site.

Frequently asked questions

When does the 2026 BUMN joint recruitment open?

On 7 October 2026, the BUMN careers and internships page did not show a 2026 joint recruitment schedule. Watch that page and the official accounts of the Ministry of SOEs and FHCI, and ignore schedules from unofficial accounts or websites.

I was invited to a BUMN test and asked to pay for a ticket or hotel through a specific agent. Is that safe?

It is a warning sign. PLN, for example, has said it charges selection participants nothing and does not reimburse transport or accommodation for selection. FHCI also said every stage of the 2024 joint recruitment was free. Do not transfer money, and confirm the invitation through the company's official careers site.
