EURES helps jobseekers to find jobs and employers to recruit from all over Europe

The European Union’s principle of free movement of workers is considered one of the most important rights of EU citizens. It means that you can move to any EU Member State, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland to look for and take up a job. The purpose of EURES is precisely to help and support jobseekers and employers with that.

This involves the provision of many services, available on the EURES portal or through the human network of more than a thousand advisers working in the EURES organisations. 

EURES services to jobseekers and employers include:

• Matching of job vacancies and CVs on the EURES portal
• Information and guidance and other support services for workers and employers
• Access to information on living and working conditions in the EU member states
• Specific support services for frontier workers and employers in cross-border regions
• Support to dynamic recruitment events through the European (Online) Job Days platform

To access these services and more detailed information go to Eures website.
