What it does
EURES connects European job discovery with information about living and working conditions. Its official portal links jobseekers to vacancies, recruitment events and country information that helps put a prospective move in context.
Choose a country or region and investigate its living and working conditions alongside the vacancy search. A job title alone leaves out the practical questions involved in a move, such as understanding the local employment setting. EURES puts those research paths next to one another.
European Job Days provide another route to meet participating employers through recruitment events. Check the event and individual vacancy details before deciding whether to participate or apply. The portal’s European focus should guide your expectations: an advertisement does not establish that every reader is eligible to work in the country concerned. Use the vacancy requirements and relevant official national information when that question affects your application.
EURES describes its service as free for jobseekers, subject to the conditions of individual network members. Each vacancy gives application instructions and a contact: this may be an EURES adviser handling the application or the employer directly.
