What EURES Slovakia Can Do for You
- Advertise Your Job Vacancies
Your vacancies can be published on the EURES Slovakia website while promoting them through EURES social media and partner networks as well.
Practical tip: Provide detailed job description (tasks, required skills, salary, shift patterns, accommodation, benefits, etc.). The more precise the information, the better the match.
- Candidate Search and Pre‑Selection
If an employer wants to receive only relevant CVs, EURES can provide a pre‑selection of candidates based on employer requirements.
Practical tip: Share your “must‑have” vs. “nice‑to‑have” requirements. This helps advisers filter candidates more effectively.
- Support with Recruitment Activities
EURES offers tailor-made services and can help organise onsite/online job interviews, or targeted recruitment campaigns, or you can participate and present your company at job fairs in Slovakia.
Practical tip: One of the most powerful ways to attract top talent is by taking part in online job fairs, where you can connect with motivated candidates in real time and showcase your employer brand to a wide audience. Prepare short company presentation. Clear employer branding increases interest from candidates.
- Long‑Term Partnership and After‑Placement Support
EURES Slovakia does not end its support once a candidate is hired. In case of need, EURES is ready to provide post-recruitment services. This long‑term approach helps employers build a stable, reliable workforce.
Practical Steps to Start Working with EURES Slovakia
- Contacting a Slovak EURES adviser. Starting early is important as the recruitment may take longer due to travel, interviews, and relocation.
- Sharing job descriptions and recruitment needs. Be transparent about working conditions, clear information increases candidate trust.
- Agreeing on a recruitment strategy.
- Participating in candidate selection and interviews.
- Finalizing contracts and onboarding with EURES support. Offer support with relocation. Even small gestures (help with accommodation search, getting oriented) make a big difference.
- Stay in regular contact with your adviser. The more they understand your company, the better they can promote your vacancies. Providing feedback is also important for promotion of EURES and your company. Examples of good practice are always an excellent source of inspiration for hesitant candidates.
