Description of services
The employer registers the vacancies in the State Employment Agency. A vacancy can be registered by visiting a local office of the Agency in person, by telephone or electronically in the CV/Vacancies portal. To obtain information on the status of the registered vacancies, local offices of the Agency at least once in two weeks contact the employers to confirm the status of the vacancies or remove them from data base if these vacancies have been filled.
The employer may choose the type of vacancy:
- Open vacancy if the employer allows the candidate to contact the employer directly and agrees to publish the vacancy;
- Partly closed vacancy if the employer wishes to contact the candidate using the agency as a mediator and agrees to publish the vacancy;
- Closed vacancy if the employer wishes to receive help from the agency in selection of candidates but does not agree to publish information on the vacancy.
At the employer’s request the agency staff selects the personnel from the unemployed and job seekers in two ways:
- The agency staff select the most suitable employee (-s) and send them to the employer who makes a decision on hiring the unemployed person (-s);
- The agency staff at first selects the candidate (-s) most suitable for the vacancies announced by the employer. Then a meeting of the employer and the unemployed person (-s) is organised and next stage of selection takes place.
If the employer only wishes to inform the unemployed persons about a vacancy, this information can be published in the CV / Vacancies portal of the SEA web page. In this case the vacancy can be seen in the internet and information on the vacancy will be provided to unemployed persons visiting the local offices of the Agency.
The employer also has a possibility:
- To place the vacancy in the EURES data base. This information is sent to job seekers in all states of the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland;
- To use the EURES CV data base for search and selection of candidates;
- To receive direct support from EURES consultants in order to find employees in other states of the European Union and the European Economic Area.
Additional information on registration of vacancies and selection of personnel is available in the nearest local office of the SEA.
