EURES review: the EU's portal for jobs in other countries

EURES is the European Union's job portal for working in another European country. It lists vacancies from the EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, and advisers help with the move.

Who EURES is for

EURES is for everyone who wants to work in another European country. For a search within your own country the national job search is the more direct way.

What EURES offers

• Search and filter vacancies from all EURES countries.
• A profile with your CV, built with Europass, in one or several languages. You decide which personal details employers see.
• Notifications about vacancies that match your profile.
• Advisers who help with working abroad, and a helpdesk by chat, e-mail and phone.

Who pays for what

Job seekers

Nothing. All services for job seekers are free

Employers

Post through their national employment service. Registered employers can search the CVs

How to apply

Create a free account and a profile, then apply for vacancies from the portal. With your CV made visible, registered employers can also find you. If you get stuck, an adviser in your country or the helpdesk takes you through it.

Where the listings come from

Most listings on EURES are not entered there. They are imported every day from the databases of the national public employment services. A job from your own country that you find on EURES is therefore the same one as in your national employment service's job search. The gain lies in the other direction. You get jobs from the other countries in one search.
