El comité de selección barema la disponibilidad horaria.

Barema is the 3rd person singular present of baremar.

In Spain, baremar is a fairly formal or administrative verb meaning to score, assess, or rank according to a set scale or criteria. It comes from baremo, which is a rating scale / points system / scoring table.

So this is more specific than just evaluar (to evaluate) or valorar (to assess/value).
Baremar implies that the committee is applying a structured scoring system, not just giving a general opinion.

It is especially common in contexts like:

• job selection
• public exams
• grants
• school admissions
• official competitions

Also, it is much more typical of Spain than of all Spanish-speaking countries.

Because comité is a masculine noun in Spanish: el comité.

This is a good reminder that noun endings do not always tell you the gender reliably. Even though many nouns ending in -e can be either masculine or feminine depending on the word, comité is masculine.

Examples:

• el comité
• el informe
• la clase
• la sede

So the article has to match the noun’s grammatical gender: el comité.

In Spanish, comité is a collective singular noun, so it normally takes a singular verb.

That is why you get:

• El comité barema...
• not El comité bareman...

English sometimes varies in this area, especially between British and American usage (the committee is / the committee are), but in Spanish the normal choice here is singular because comité is grammatically singular.

Here, de selección works like a specifying complement: it tells you what kind of committee it is.

So comité de selección means:

• selection committee

In Spanish, this kind of structure often appears without an article after de when it names a type, function, or category.

Compare:

• comité de selección
• centro de salud
• sala de espera
• gafas de sol

You could say de la selección in other contexts, but that would usually refer to the selection as a specific thing already identified, which is not the idea here.

Disponibilidad horaria means availability in terms of schedule / working hours / time slots.

It is a common expression in Spain, especially in employment or administrative contexts. It usually refers to questions like:

• What hours can you work?
• Are you available mornings, evenings, weekends?
• Can you adapt to different shifts?
• Do you have flexible scheduling availability?

So it is not just general availability in the abstract. It is specifically about time availability or schedule availability.

Spanish often uses the definite article where English may use no article at all.

Here, la disponibilidad horaria refers to the criterion or factor being assessed. In Spanish, that sounds natural with the article:

• baremar la disponibilidad horaria
• valorar la experiencia
• evaluar la formación

English might say assess schedule availability without the, but Spanish normally prefers the in this kind of structure.

Horaria is the adjective from horario (schedule, timetable, hours-related).

So:

• disponibilidad horaria = schedule availability / availability of hours

Spanish often uses an adjective where English might use a noun modifier.
Compare:

• jornada laboral = working day / work shift
• vida laboral = employment record / working life
• flexibilidad horaria = schedule flexibility

You could sometimes rephrase with de, but disponibilidad horaria is the fixed, idiomatic expression.

Not completely.

They are related, but there is a nuance:

• evaluar = to evaluate
• valorar = to assess, value, consider
• baremar = to score/rank using a defined scale or points system

So baremar sounds more technical and procedural.

For example:

• El comité evalúa las candidaturas = the committee evaluates the applications
• El comité valora la experiencia = the committee takes experience into account / assesses experience
• El comité barema la disponibilidad horaria = the committee scores schedule availability according to a set criterion

Yes, it sounds formal, bureaucratic, or administrative.

Two things make it sound formal:

1. comité de selección
2. barema

A more everyday way to say something similar might use:

• evalúa
• tiene en cuenta
• valora

For example:

• El comité de selección valora la disponibilidad horaria.
• El comité de selección tiene en cuenta la disponibilidad horaria.

Those versions are more broadly understandable, especially outside official or HR contexts.

Yes, but the given order is the most neutral and standard:

• El comité de selección barema la disponibilidad horaria.

Spanish word order is flexible, so other versions are possible for emphasis, such as:

• La disponibilidad horaria la barema el comité de selección.
• El comité de selección la barema.
  (if la disponibilidad horaria is already understood)

But unless you want a special emphasis or contrast, the original order is the most natural for a standalone sentence.

Comité is pronounced roughly ko-mi-TE.
The written accent on -té shows that the stress falls on the last syllable.

Without the accent, Spanish stress rules would suggest a different pronunciation.

Similarly:

• comité
• café
• sofá

By contrast, barema has no written accent because it follows the normal stress pattern:

• ba-RE-ma

So the sentence is pronounced approximately:

el ko-mi-TE de se-lek-THYON ba-RE-ma la dis-po-ni-bi-li-DAD o-RA-ria
(in standard Peninsular Spanish pronunciation)

In many parts of the Spanish-speaking world, c before i/e is pronounced like s instead of the Peninsular th sound.
