EURES Estonia helps national companies find employees from other European Union countries, as well as from Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Iceland. Thanks to the free movement of labour within the European Union and the European Economic Area, recruiting from other European countries has become increasingly popular and also easier. EURES connects jobseekers from other European countries with job offers from Estonian employers, advises both parties throughout the entire process, and promotes the opportunities of working in Estonia at various events across Europe.

Do you need an additional information?
EURES was successful for some positions like customer support, driver training and similar, especially when we needed someone who knows other languages. And it’s free so worth a try. Of course, it is not the best place to find IT or very qualified people but for entry-level and junior it is good.
The European Job Mobility Portal is considered by many to be the safest job placement portal. The use of the portal is free for both jobseekers and employers. If you want to publish your job offer on the EURES portal, contact the EURES advisers of the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund. If you are more interested, you can create an account for your company directly on the EURES portal. This allows you to create and save search profiles, receive notifications of CVs matching your search, order newsletters and receive other information necessary for recruiting employees from other European countries.
If the purpose of a foreigner's stay in Estonia (except citizens of a member state of the European Union, a member state of the European Economic Area, and the Swiss Confederation) is to work here, he must have a residence permit for work. Before a foreigner can apply for it from the Police and Border Guard Board, the employer must generally have permission from the Unemployment Fund to employ a foreigner.
